🥶 COLDTOBER IS ON! 🙌 Haven't registered yet? No worries! You can still sign up throughout October and join the challenge.

October is here, and there's still time to get involved in Coldtober 2026, supporting Helplink Mental Health!

🚿 Take on 10-second cold showers or 🏊‍♂️ brave a cold dip. You can take part for a day, a week or the whole month. Every little bit helps!

Maybe you can still support us, and our brave Coldtoberian participants, by giving a donation to help us to keep Helplink's mental health services available to those who need them.

Every registration, donation and share makes a difference. Help us keep mental health support within reach across our communities.

When heading out for a swim or dip remember these 'Hot Tips for Cold Water'

1. Look Up: check the weather and marine forecast before heading out
2. Gear Up: wear a brightly coloured swim cap, bring a brightly coloured tow float, and if you need some extra warmth, wear neoprene booties and gloves
3. Buddy Up: Always swim with another person and stay within your depth
4. Warm Up: Get dressed quickly afterwards in warm, dry layers
