 We're once again joining forces with our great friends at Red Sky Foundation for the legendary Boxing Day Dip at Seaburn and registraion is now officially open!

For more than 50 years the Sunderland Dip has attracted hundreds of participants and thousands of spectators. This year we are aiming to make it one of the biggest in the UK. The Dip is open to all charities and places are now available for individuals to use it as an opportunity to raise vital funds for their favourite good cause.

The event is proudly sponsored by Sunderland City Council and the Mayor of the City of Sunderland, Councillor Ehthesham Haque said " The Boxing Day Dip is long-standing tradition in our city, running for more than 50 years! It helps to raise tens of thousands of pounds for so many local good causes. I'm proud to support it and I look forward to seeing everyone take part again this year!"

Thanks also to the many volunteers, who are so essential on the day, and without them events like the Boxing Day Dip probably would not be possible. So never forget the volunteers and perhaps there is something each of you might find rewarding to get involved with?
