Daily dips in the sea at Littlehampton raise thousands for Poppy Appeal

Carolyn Nunn-Hammond, daughter Summer Nunn-Hammond and friend Justine Winson-Hockley have been going into the sea on Littlehampton beach for 11 days in a row.

Carolyn said: “Our challenge is all completed now and we have raised £2,200 so far and still coming in.

“We are absolutely amazed at the incredible support we have been given by so many people and couldn’t be prouder of what we achieved because of them.”

Carolyn, 52, Summer, 22, and Justine, 49, started their Making a Splash challenge on Sunday, November 1, running into the sea hand in hand.

Carolyn said: “When we read about this year’s Poppy Appeal and the worry that they wouldn’t make as much money due to current restrictions, we knew we had to help.”
