Why have you chosen to support the NSPCC's Bobble Hat Day this year?
Dick & Dom are supporting NSPCC's Bobble Hat Day
We are both really excited to dig out our best bobbles on Wednesday 10 December to raise vital funds and awareness for the NSPCC's services including ChildLine - it's such a simple way to get involved and make an impact for a cause that is close to our hearts.
Whilst most kids are gearing up for a fun, family Christmas full of presents and laughter tragically it's not the same for all children. ChildLine offers help and support to thousands of children who are dreading the festive season and desperately need someone to talk to. By simply wearing a bobble hat and donating to the NSPCC, you can help ChildLine be there for more children this Christmas and throughout the year.
What can you tell us about the Bobble Hat Day cause, as it's the first time it's happening?
Bobble Hat Day is a UK-wide festive fundraising event calling on Brits to wear a bobble hat on Wednesday 10 December, text 'BOBBLE' to 70744 and donate £2 to the charity's Call For Help appeal. Each Christmas thousands of children turn to ChildLine for support and the money raised will make a big difference to children in danger and distress.
How can people get involved in supporting this cause?
There are loads of fun ways to get involved - the most simple is to get together with friends, family, colleagues or neighbours, wear a bobble hat on Wednesday 10 December and then donate £2 to the NSPCC. The NSPCC also encourages supporters to get creative with bobble hat bake-offs, DIY bobble hat competitions and even festive hat parties! Check out the NSPCC's website for inspiration.
