We are taking the plunge for a great cause: better mental health for everyone in Calderdale!

This year, our amazing kids’ are making ripples and diving in for a cause close to our hearts.

The Annual Big Swim was started three years ago by our very own Nikki, whose passion and dedication turned it into a community tradition. Unfortunately, Nikki is recovering from a broken ankle this year, so we’re picking up the baton (or the goggles!) to keep the splash going strong in her honour.

We’ll be swimming to raise funds for Healthy Minds, a local charity that supports mental health and wellbeing. Every lap we swim is a step toward making a difference for those who need it most.

💙 How you can help:

✅ Sponsor Team Ripple Rebels of Roomfield – every donation, big or small, makes an impact

✅ Share our story and cheer us on

✅ Come support us at the pool and celebrate Nikki’s vision with us!

Together, we can make waves for Healthy Minds and keep Nikki’s Big Swim legacy alive

The fundraising swim will take place at 2 PM on October 5th all across the borough - at Brighouse, Sowerby Bridge and Todmorden pools. Come and cheer me on!

Healthy Minds provide high-quality mental health services to individuals and families in Calderdale. They promote awareness and reduce stigma by partnering with local organisations, and providing education and resources that empower people to take control of their mental health.
