Join Team Ripple Effect as they tackle the Coventry Building Society Great North Swim for FareShare North East! A team of our very own staff are taking on the challenge this June.
The 1 mile distance is suitable for swimmers of all abilities. You will swim the equivalent of 64 lengths of a 25m pool and the average time to complete this distance is 40 minutes. Choose a leisurely breaststroke while taking in the scenery or kick into crawl for a faster time. You must be 16 years or above to enter this event.
Team Ripple Effect are swimming in the 1pm wave on Saturday 13th June. It’s not too late to join them, or, you can pop down to cheer them on!
You can support the team by donating here, with all proceeds helping us in our mission to save food from going to waste and supporting communities across the North East.
Every year, thousands of tonnes of good food go to waste – food that could be enjoyed by people and communities across the North East.
By swimming with us, you’ll help:
Your strokes won’t just get you to the shore – they’ll help keep good food moving where it’s needed most.
Every pound raised helps us rescue more good food and get it to where it’s needed most.
