Fundraising events
We have a range of fundraising events planned to help raise money so that we can invest in improving patient care and experience.
Rotherham Polar Plunge
Date: Saturday 23 November 2024
Time: From 10am
Location: Manvers Lake, Wath-Upon-Dearne, Rotherham
Details: Experience the exhilaration of a cold water dip. Imagine the thrill of stepping into icy waters, the rush of adrenaline and the camaraderie of fellow plungers - all while supporting a charitable cause.
Whether you're a seasoned cold-water enthusiast or a first time plunger, this event is designed for everyone who's ready to make a splash for charity. We are working with experts from The Breath Connection to bring you this chilly challenge.
Fundraisers will take a dip in the icy waters at Manvers in November where you will learn the art of cold water dipping, breath work and the wellbeing benefits of cold water.
We believe that bravery deserves recognition - hot drinks and certificates await our boldest plungers. So, gather your friends, form a team, and let's see who can make the biggest splash.
You’ll need to leave winter warmers at the water side and no wetsuits are allowed.
It costs £25 to take part and we’d like you to raise a minimum of £50.
