We’re delighted to support Coldtober™, Helplink Mental Health’s Annual Fundraiser as it reaches its third year to raise funds or much-need mental health services this coming October.
Coldtober will invite you to join the month-long challenge to help get one step closer to meeting the mission; to support children, young people and adults with their mental health. Over the past two years, Coldtober™ has encouraged 900 participants to embraced the challenge of completing 31 days of cold showers/swims. This year, the initiative takes on an even more personalised approach, supporting participants to set their own goals in terms of cold-water immersion. Participants are encouraged to embark on a journey of self-discovery, pushing their own boundaries to make a positive impact on their well-being and at the same time supporting a great cause.
Participants and supporters are invited to follow the Coldtober™ journey on Helplink Mental Health & social media platforms. Engage with us and share your experiences by tagging us on Instagram (@HelplinkMentalHealth), Twitter (@HelplinkMH), and Facebook (@HelplinkMentalHealth). Join the dedicated Coldtober™ Facebook Group to connect with other participants.
Register today to take part in our challenge and receive your registration pack with goodies from our sponsors, including our Coldtober/Portwest neck warmer, delicious unique Solaris Tea to warm you up after your cold shower/swim and more!
