Question 1

Do I need a ticket for NESD?

Accepted Answer

Yes! NESD is an e-ticketed event to comply with health and safety requirements. Commit and make your pledge here today.  You will then receive a QR code in an email. We will use this code to sign you in on the day. We can also check you in with your name. There is NO need to print anything off!

Question 2

Why do I have to pay?

Accepted Answer

Primarily, your registration fee is a pledge to charity. At least 75% of your pledge to dip and every single penny of your fundraising will go directly to Tyneside and Northumberland Mind.  If personal funds are a problem choose the ‘Donate what you can’ ticket. No questions asked.

Question 3

I have a disability. Can I still join in?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Beach Access North East offer a free loan service of all terrain wheelchair equipment. Please contact them directly to discuss your options at www.beachaccessnortheast.org
Blue badge holder? We may be able to arrange parking closer to the beach. Send an email now to northeastskinnydip@gmail.com

Question 4

Will there be safety people around?

Accepted Answer

Of course!  There will be a medical team on land and a dedicated water safety cover team between 7am and 8am. There will only be water safety cover between these times. You must not enter the water at any other time. If you do, you do so at your own risk and against advice.

Question 5

Can I come and watch the North East Skinny Dip?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not! The North East Skinny Dip is NOT a spectator event. Due to the sensitive nature of NESD and the subsequent vulnerability of those taking part you will not be permitted to watch the event under any circumstances. Wanna be there? Commit, make your pledge and join in!

Question 6

Can my children dip with me?

Accepted Answer

NESD is wholly inclusive. There is no minimum (or maximum) age limit. The decision to include your children (or your granny) is yours and their choice only as we strive to bring a little respite from the perpetual sexualisation of our human bodies. Your dependants must be accompanied at all times.

Question 7

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

NESD is a not for profit charity event and unless the event is cancelled pledges are non-refundable and non-transferable.
