Dare you dip? Operation Freeze Knees in aid of NI Hospice is back for 2025
They’ve been dipping for decades – Operation Freeze Knees in Portstewart is back!
The annual Christmas Day dip in aid of NI Hospice returns to Portstewart Strand on Christmas Day at noon.
First established by local lady Ailna Smyth, Operation Freeze Knees 2025 is proudly hosted by Adam Davidson and AutoZone Coleraine. All donations in support of Coleraine Hospice Support Group who do an incredible job of creating awareness and raising funds for the Northern Ireland Hospice.
The organiser Adam Davidson said: “Big thanks to Robert Wheeldon and Coastal Core for providing first aid support on the day!
"Everyone welcome, put on your favourite festive fancy dress and take to the water for a Christmas dip.
