Breast cancer charity partners with historic Ilkley lido

The Nipple Innovation Project is the UK’s first mastectomy tattoo charity. Providing breast cancer patients of all genders (yes, men get breast cancer too!) with realistic 3D areola tattoos to replace the ones lost through mastectomy surgery.

October is breast cancer awareness month, and with that comes The Nipple Innovation Project’s annual fundraising campaign, Dip4Nip. Challenging participants to take on a cold water shower, cold tub dip or outdoor water plunge for our charity.

Many NIP recipients have faced a long and challenging journey after breast cancer surgery. Dip4Nip offers a chance to show solidarity and empowerment. By taking the plunge in cold water, participants can step outside their comfort zone, to allow NIP to bring breast cancer patients back into their comfort zone. It's a symbolic challenge that raises awareness and vital funds while promoting a sense of holistic well-being for all.

The private event will include a guided breathwork session by Louise at Spxce, to take participants safely through their cold water dip. The dip will be followed by a warm up and hot drinks. Safety is paramount to NIP for all the participants taking part, and so particpants will be fully guided throughout the session.

A charity raffle will be held on the day complete with prizes from the cold water community and local community.
