Take a New Year dip for guide dogs

·2 December 2014

What’s more refreshing than a dip in the sea on New Year’s Day?

Perhaps not the most obvious way to spend the day – and not just because of the cold – but any brave people who brave a dip in the sea 1 January will be helping raise money for a guide dog puppy. 

360 Swansea will play host to the dip, with prizes for fancy dress, live music, a barbecue and even a free hot drink for anyone who braves the water. 

“The guide dog service receives no government funding,” says Deborah Rees of Guide Dogs Cymru. “We are wholly reliant on the generosity of the public.”

All money raised will go towards paying for a guide dog puppy. Who’s brave enough to take the plunge?
