Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

For most of this decade a small group of ex and current serviceman have been taking part in the Torpoint and Rame Peninsular Lions New Years Day dip to raise money for charity.   The past few years we have raised money for the British Limbless Ex-Service Men’s Association BLESMA.  We do this by going for a dip on new years day in the sea on the south Cornish coast at Kingsand and Cawsand. The event is organized by the local Lions Club who take a percentage of the money raised for the charities they support. This year team members include 1 Ex Army 1 Serving Army (travelling from the Falklands to take part) and we may even get some ex Naval personal to join in. Our fancy dress theme is “The Wages of Sin”  Please help us raise money for this much needed charity who help look after our causalities of war. Pledge your cash, come and support on the day or even join the team just email me newyearsdip@btinternet.com 

About the charity

BLESMA is the Charity that directly supports all our service men and women who lose limbs, the use of limbs or eyes or the sight of an eye in the service of our country and we are with them all whenever we are needed for the rest of their lives. Our work starts with rehabilitation – proving that there is life after amputation. Our work is about amputee helping amputee – the fellowship of shared experience. Our work is about life long welfare support, about campaigning for what they deserve and about being there when old injuries come back to haunt. Our youngest Member is 19 and our oldest is 99 – truly we are BLESMA for life.
