Join our Cold Water Dips in the run up to International Women’s Day!
For a third year we will be marking International Women’s Day in March with some Chilly Dips up and down the country, raising awareness for the day, and raising some money for our McCarthy Stone Charity Foundation, helping small charitable causes to reduce loneliness and isolation for older people.
Getting into unheated water in March is no easy feat and our brave McCarthy Stone colleagues and supply chain partners are ready to take on the challenge! It’s open to everyone, not just for women! So please get in touch if you’d like to join one of these fantastic events. Supporters and cake donations are always welcome.
You can support our cold water dippers via JustGiving here: McCarthy Stone Foundation Charity Chilly Dip 2025 for International Women’s Day – JustGiving
