Winston’s Wish is a local charity that helps children, young people and families to find their feet when their worlds are turned upside down by grief.

When I saw they were holding a cold water swimming challenge, I thought I could put my silly hobby to a good cause and raise some money for this worthwhile cause. WW are asking for a 50m swim but I’m aiming for 500m.

How your support helps:

£12 could provide one child with a memory box, allowing them to cherish and remember their loved one in a truly personal way

£16 could pay for a live chat session for a child or young person

£26 could fund a resource pack for a grieving child, including activity kits to help them to remember their special person

£54 could help pay for us to run an online support group for young people

Anything you can give would be most appreciated.
