A teenager from Thetford has completed a charity challenge inspired by his grandparents.
Macaulay Harvey took part in a sponsored two mile swim at the Breckland Leisure Centre to raise money for the Thetford and District Dementia Support group (TADDS).
The 16-year-old's grandparents, Doreen and John Harvey, attend the weekly group held at the Cloverfield Community Church.
Macaulay, who swims for Thetford Dolphins, raised more than £200 and took just over an hour to complete his challenge.
Mr and Mrs Harvey are also active fundraisers for the group and regularly run a raffle to raise money.

The support group meets every Friday from 10am to 1pm.
