Have a reputation as a bit of a talker? Always one to have the last words? Never one to miss out on a good natter? We have just the challenge for you! Raise Your Voice by Staying Silent....
There are different kinds of silence you could do for your fundraising. Choose between online silence, or real-life silence.
In today's world, we're constantly bombarded with notifications, messages, and the endless scroll of social media. It's easy to get caught up in the digital whirlwind and forget to pause, breathe, and appreciate the quiet moments.
If you want to do something different to make a difference, why not do a sponsored digital silence to raise money? Unplug, recharge, and make a real difference through a sponsored digital silence for Rainbow Trust Children's Charity. Choose your length of time, a few hours, an afternoon, 24-hours, (or longer!) and ask embrace the quiet.
If digital is not your style, you can opt for a real-life silence instead. Keep quiet for the morning, a few hours, the whole day, or longer! Make sure you let your friends and family know about your challenge before it begins. You could even find creative ways to communicate when you're completing your silence - you could use a whiteboard, spelling games, or any other way you can think.
Make sure you set a start and end time to your challenge, and make sure your friends and family know in advance. Why not challenge your classmates or youth club to try and take on the challenge?
