2024 we will be raising funds for  The Alzheimer's Society and The British Lung Foundation: two charities which we all know give outstanding support to local people in times of need.

   sponsors can sign up to Gift Aid if they wish:   If you have your own charity which you wish to raise funds for then please go ahead. It would help our cause if you would just email us with the amount raised. download sponsorship form  If you just want a plunge, feel free to join us, there is no obligation”   ...more info

Wet suits allowed, preferably with fancy dress over the top, just a plunge in the sea is enough to say  you've 'done the Lyme Lunge'  for charity.  No doubt the collectors will get as wet as the Lungers!  Whether watching or lunging don't forget to arrive early.
