Coldvember is an annual student run charity event and for the second year in a row the Coldvember crew are raising funds for local charity, the Galway Rape Crisis Centre. This event is open to anyone and everyone!  Whether you swim, share or donate, every bit of support counts.

This years Coldvember Crew, consisting of 5 students from the University of Galway are returning for their second year of fundraising, our aim is to swim in the sea at Salthill, everyday, over the course of November. It's gonna be chilly!

We are encouraging people to get out and join in on the cold water dips in support of our charity, whether you can make it to Salthill or even just youre local beach! Throughout the course of November there will also be fun games, competitions and much more, so make sure you don't miss out!

The GRCC are a local charity that aim to lessen the impact of sexual abuse and sexual violence, and to achieve a society that no longer tolerates these crimes. They offer a wide range of services including; a helpline, counselling, accompanient and advocacy, and they also offer training and education. Since establishing in 1984 they have since grown into the largest rape crisis centre outside of Dublin and have helped and provided care for countless survivors of sexual abuse and trauma. 

As 5 young men, we are not only honoured, but both proud and feel incredibly privledged to have the chance to raise some money for this charity. And we would love if you would help us out :)

Please join in, send us your photos and tag us in your stories. 

We are kicking off on Monday November 1st, make sure to follow our instagram @coldvember_nuig for daily updates, competitions, information and general news.

Stay safe, stay salty, stay tuned...
