An Appeal...


Holy smokes, we're going to be swimming the Channel THIS YEAR! It's been a bit quiet round these parts of late, but now we've recovered from Christmas and burnt off all the excess mince pies and tofurkey, we're ready to throw ourselves head-first back into fundraising.

As part of our efforts, we’re going car booting. If you have any items that you would be willing to donate for us to sell on, please let us know – it doesn’t matter how big or small, and we'll even come and collect large items (if you're in the Leeds or Liverpool area, obviously!).

Are you having a New Year clear out? Do you have any unwanted Christmas presents that you don’t know what to do with? Garage positively over-flowing with stuff you don't need anymore? Then donate it to us!
You can contact us by email (saschannelswim@gmail.com) to organise collection of your items.


What else have we been up to? We spent New Year in Edinburgh with our lovely friends Alex & Jem.  We even found time to go for a swim. In the Firth of Forth. In December.

The water was a shocking 6 degrees Celcius, so it more turned into a shrieking contest than an actual swim.  I'm not sure either of us got wet any higher than our armpits...but it resulted in some pretty hilarious photos!
