A County Derry swimming group has raised over £4,000 for a local charity after a well-wisher heard them talking in a local café and offered to bump up their sponsorship funds.
The Mistits and Propertits Open Water Swimming Friends Group raised £4,032 for Draperstown-based mental health charity S.T.E.P.S. through an Easter swimming fundraiser.
The members all took to the water on Easter Saturday at Splash Moneymore - who kindly waived their fees for the day - in self-styled Easter bonnets to swim, dunk and dip for charity.
Bernice McMaster and Donna English spoke to Derry Now about the day, and the kind stranger who offered to help after seeing the group eating breakfast.
