Pictures show hundreds of people donning their swimwear as part of the Boxing Day Dip 2022 in Redcar.
People could be seen wading into freezing North East waters in an effort to raise money for their favourite organisation or charity.

The Northern Echo recently spoke to a family who braved the freezing waters today for Our Hospital Charity in memory of their baby girl.

Alongside their family, Amy Peirse and Carl Horner will take on Redcar’s Boxing Day Dip to fundraise for Our Hospitals Charity in memory of their daughter Ada.
They lost baby Ada in July, when Amy developed HELLP syndrome following a healthy pregnancy.
HELLP is a rare and life-threatening pregnancy complication, which occurs in less than 1 per cent of all pregnancies.
HELLP stands for haemolysis (H), elevated liver enzymes (EL), low platelet count (L).
