Get Chilly for Charity 2025!

Julia Laister is raising money for Julia's House

Chilly Sea Festive Dip · 30 November 2025

No parent expects to live longer than their child, but for many of the families we support, this is a reality. Julia's House, the Dorset & Wiltshire Children's Hospice charity provides frequent respite care for children and support for their families at home, in the community and at our hospice.

Story

Join us as we kick off the festive season with our annual Get Chilly for Charity sea dip in aid of Julia’s House children’s hospice.

Sunday 30th November, 3–4 pm

Shore Road Beach, Poole (200m along promenade from Jazz Cafe)

Brave the cold waters, then warm up with hot drinks (yes, mulled wine too!) and delicious cakes afterwards.

Festive fancy dress is optional – but highly encouraged! Last year saw our biggest turnout yet, and we’d love to top it this year.

We’re grateful to local supporters including Oxford Bakery, Tesco Sandbanks, and Parkstone Waitrose for donating goodies to make the event a big success.

💙 Suggested donation: £10 per person (or whatever you can give). Every penny goes directly to Julia’s House, who provide vital care and emotional support for children with life-limiting conditions and their families across Dorset and Wiltshire.

Thank you for helping us make a difference – and for being brave enough to Get Chilly for Charity!
