I've known of Rossendale Rays a great local charity that supports many children / adults with special needs. They help aid members to learn to swim and have lots of fun with their famillies in a safe enviroment. I will be completing one mile swims at both Salford Quays and Loch Lomond as part of the Great Swim Series 2016. Any money raised will go towards general running costs of this self funded charity. Also to buy new equipment that will improve the experience of it's members. The group always welcome new members and helpers. Pease see the group information below.
