Joshua Brandwood raised a grand total of £750 from the sponsored Boxing Day Dip event when he joined other fundraisers who swam, splashed or strolled in the sea in aid of St John’s Hospice.

"Following my dip in Morecambe Day on Boxing Day, I'm pleased to say I've made a full recovery," joked Joshua.

“I just want to thank the wonderful people of Lancaster, Morecambe and beyond who supported my fundraising efforts.

"I'd also like to extend my thanks to the local businesses who donated some wonderful prizes for a Christmas raffle.

"The funds are now with St John's Hospice and will directly go back into the charity."
