There were celebrations at Cullercoats Bay as people gathered in aid one mum's year-long challenge against mental health.
People donned their bikinis and braced the cold North Sea to join and support Sarah Goldsborough in completing her 366th cold water swim to raise money for Mental Health Matters, as well as help her overcome her own battle with mental health.
The counsellor, from Whitley Bay, embarked on the challenge on her 35th birthday after her own mental health hit an all time low. She had recently lost her second baby in eight months and as she struggled to cope with the loss her anxiety peaked and she began suffering from regular panic attacks.
