Bothams of Whitby and Pescado Lounge take on Boxing Day Dip to support Whitby charity
Businesses The Pescado Lounge and Botham’s of Whitby took part in the town’s Boxing Day Dip to raise money for WHISH, a charity that provides support for children with disabilities and hidden impairments.
Both teams fearlessly dashed into the cold waters of the North Sea, alongside WHISH members and the general public.
Despite the freezing conditions, the determined businesses completed the dip with a smile on their faces, cheered on by friends, family and onlookers who gathered to support the event.
A spokesperson from WHISH said: "To see so many people come together, especially local businesses like Pescado Lounge and Botham’s, made the day truly special.
“It shows how much good can come from a supportive community.
"We are extremely grateful to both businesses for their support.
"The money raised will go a long way in supporting our beneficiaries”.
Funds raised from the Boxing Day Dip will go towards helping WHISH families access vital support, resources and opportunities.
WHISH added: “We would like to extend a thank you to The Rotary Club of Whitby and District, whose efforts ensured the event ran safely and successfully, bringing together swimmers, spectators and fundraisers for a festive community occasion.”
