NEW Year dippers on the Ceredigion coast have raised nearly £1,000 for Cancer Research.

A number of people gathered at New Quay harbour on New Year’s Day to brave the chill and take a dip in the Cardigan Bay water to welcome in 2023.

A bucket collection by the New Quay Cancer Research Committee raised a sum of £955.

Morlais Davies, who sent the photos to the Cambrian News, said: “A big thank you to the New Quay RNLI Inshore Lifeboat Crew who were on hand to ensure the safety of the swimmers who ventured into the water.”
