Swimmers raise over £3,000 for Inspire

22 June 2017

We were delighted to have been chosen as one of Suffolk County Council’s charity’s for the Great East Swim this year!

We had 10 swimmers represent Inspire at the swim and collectively raise over £3,000! Each of them took the plunge at Alton Water on 17th June swimming distances from 0.5 miles to 5K! We were overwhelmed by the response of our supporters and would like to thank each and every one of you who swam for us and those who donated to their fundraising efforts.

We rely entirely on our efforts fundraising, and through sponsorship and grants. Without the backing of our supporters like our swimmers and yourself, we would not be able to continue our lifechanging work with local young people onto a positive future.


Are you inspired and want to take on a challenge for Inspire? Visit our events page to see how you could get involved or email our Fundraising Officer, Sara Warburton on saraw@inspiresuffolk.org.uk
