The 2011 Peel New Year Dip had over 200 dippers raising over £1500 on the day. The three charities benefiting are Peel Lifeboat, Multiple Sclerosis and Sailing For The Disabled.
At the coffee morning in April 2011 the three charities each received cheques for £1,611.66. The coffee morning raised a further £123 for each charity and Royal London 360 donated a further £166.66 to each charity,which matched the amount three of their staff raised in sponsorship by entering the dip. Therefore each charity received just over £1,900.
The dip began
on 1st January 1983 with a total of 4 dippers raising £50.00
for Multiple Sclerosis.
The
number of dippers increased in the following years, as did the
charities receiving money. The Peel R.N.L.I was added and then
a third charity changing each year.
The "third" charities
in the past have been Crossroads Care, Motor Neurone, Western Live-at-home,
Special Olympics and Peel division of St John ambulance, Cruse Bereavement and many
more.
In
total the dip has raised over £100,000 through the kindness of
many people.
The Peel Dip is an organised event for three specific charities, although it is apparent that some 'dippers' are using the event to raise money for other charities. Could the organisers ask that those taking part please support the three charities mentioned for 2012.
