Great opportunity for some fantastic photos and promotion of your business (feel free to bring your branded bits) and share across your socials, all for the sake of a quick dip in an ice-cold pool for a minute or two.

Following your dip, warm up with a hot drink and homemade cake plus the option of a neck and shoulder massage with our Therapist Manager, Nicola.

Sarah, already supports The Pink Place as a volunteer complementary therapist but she wanted to do even more & raise some funds too.
Despite her absolute terror of heights and of fair ground rides, she found the courage to do a SkyDive, made even more nail-biting as her jump was cancelled twice due to bad weather. Yesterday, third time lucky, she finally jumped & has raised an amazing £1,245 It's not too late to donate: https://www.peoplesfundraising.com/.../sarah-skydive... We can't thank Sarah enough, particularly as this REALLY was a challenge for her 💕
