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:
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 two 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.”
WIN Prizes!
Anyone who reaches the minimum fundraising target of £50 will be entered into a prize draw to win a fabulous Two Bare Feet Changing Robe. Fundraising target needs to be raised by Tuesday 17th December 9am. Prize draw will be drawn on 17th December at 12pm and the successful fundraiser will be notified then.
As well as this, the first 10 fundraisers to reach their £50 target will win a brilliant Zaini beanie hat. As soon as you hit £50, email us ASAP at fundraising@fearfree.org.uk with your name, address and link to your page.
