Are you Rapid Ready?
Join Childline on Saturday 27th May 2023, for our Rapid River Rafting Challenge!
Join Childline by ISPCC for this amazing adventure on the weirs and rapids of the River Liffey. The adventure will be approx. 2.5 hours of navigating the River Liffey waters while covering an incredible 8 kms!
This is the ultimate challenge to take part on your own to meet new people with similar interests. To take part with your close friends and family. Or to take part as a team building day for you and your workplace. So, join us or round up your colleagues or buddies for an incredible day that you won’t forget.
Fundraising target: As places are limited, participants will be asked to pay €50 non-refundable deposit to hold their space, and fundraise a balance of €250 before the day of the event.
If you have any questions about the event please don’t hesitate to contact Ger on: [email protected]
Funds raised from the event will support Childline, our 24hr listening service for children and young people all across Ireland. We are always here to support on any issue no matter how big or small!
Last year, our 24/7 Childline Listening Service experienced a significant increase in conversations from children seeking support in relation to thoughts about suicide, conflict in the home and feelings of low mood and unhappiness. We receive on average over 2,000 contacts a week from children and teenagers.
They are given the opportunity to talk about their feelings and worries and they receive instant support from an adult. When these children tell us "I was very sad today, I'm very glad I talked to you, thank you so much" or "Mha mha mha (blowing kisses). I like talking to you. Bye, thank you", we know how important this service is.
We rely on 75% of our funding to come from donors and fundraisers like you. We need your support.
