16 Day Cold Courage Challenge

This November, we’re inviting YOU to dive into our Cold Courage Challenge and help make waves in the fight against domestic abuse.

Take on FearFree’s cold water challenge for 2 minutes a day to help make waves in the fight against domestic abuse!

 

Join us in braving the cold for a cause!

📅 Event Duration: 25th November – 10th December (During the international UN campaign: 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence)

 

📍 Location: Wherever there’s cold water! A cold shower at home, icy bath, dip in the sea!

 

About This Challenge:

The 16-Day Cold Courage Challenge will test your resilience while raising funds for FearFree, supporting local survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence across the South-West.

For 16 days, you’ll immerse in cold water for 2 minutes every day, whether that’s a cold shower at home, a dip in the sea or an icy bath!

Everything you raise will go directly to FearFree to help local survivors of abuse. As one survivor shared, “My children and I fled abuse, and FearFree’s support made an incredible difference in our healing. Those first months were extremely tough, but their practical and emotional help was invaluable.”

How It Works:

 

  • Each Day: Participants will immerse themselves in cold water for two minutes for 16 days.
  • Virtual Check-Ins: Join daily virtual meet-ups to share progress, exchange encouragement, and celebrate milestones on our Facebook Group!  Cold Courage Challenge | Facebook
  • Share Your Challenge: Use the hashtag #ColdCourageChallenge to share your journey on social media and help spread the word!
  • Fundraise: Aim to raise £160 by rallying your friends. Get 10 pals to donate £16 each or find 16 to chip in £10—easy!

One in four women will experience domestic abuse before age 50. You can help change this.

FearFree, the leading domestic abuse charity in Wiltshire and Devon, supports over 12,000 women, men, and children each year to escape abuse and rebuild their lives.

Join us for the Cold Courage Challenge to make sure we’re there for the thousands more who need our help.
