Hundreds brrr-ave the Polar Plunge in Portrush in aid of Special Olympics

Portrush’s East Strand was the venue for a spectacular Polar Plunge at the weekend!

Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Council partnered with both PSNI and the Policing and Community Safety Partnership for this year’s ‘Polar Plunge’ in support of Special Olympics.

The annual event took place in Portrush helping raise much needed funds which will help sports, leadership, and health programmes to be delivered to Special Olympics Ireland athletes in clubs across Northern Ireland.

Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens, Councillor Steven Callaghan said: “As event partners alongside the PSNI and the Policing and Community Safety Partnership, Council is delighted to support this year’s Polar Plunge event and welcome it to Portrush. This annual event, now in its 21st year, provides valuable support for Special Olympics Ireland athletes, many of whom are from the Borough."
