Fearless fundraisers braved the chilly North Sea for a coastal charity.

A dozen daredevils plunged into the waters in aid of The Way Forward Group.

They raised £1,100 for the Dovercourt-based charity, which was set up a year ago to help people with learning disabilities.

The event saw 15 fundraisers take part in a pub-to-pub fun run from Ramsey to Harwich in fancy dress costumes. Joyce Neesome, one of the organisers, said: "The event went really well."
