The organisers of a late-night swim event to raise cash to help survivors of sexual or domestic abuse have paid tribute to everyone who attended.

 The event, run by the Andover charity Finding freedom from abuse, was held at Andover Leisure Centre on Friday, October 4.

Fundraising and Marketing Officer Michaela Cavuoto acknowledged local support: "We would like to express our gratitude and say thank you to everyone who attended and to those who contributed. Without Andover Leisure Centre staff and their amazing contract manager, this would not have been possible.

"We want to express our gratitude and say thank you for their generosity and wonderful collaborative work with us."
