Mar 18 - Childline To Hold Blue Week Events
Next week Childline will be holding their annual 'Blue Week' which aims to raise both funds and awareness. During Blue Week, the schools, offices and businesses are asked to choose one particular day when everyone is encouraged to wear something blue and to make a donation to Childline.
The Moorish Castle will also be illuminated in blue.
A spokesperson for Childline said: "Held in March every year, it has become a popular event in both schools and businesses in which all the local schools and the college are asked to participate. They are all offered a presentation which outlines Childline’s main services. These presentations are delivered by a combination of the Childline team and our wonderful volunteers.
"As well as Blue Day, we encourage everyone’s participation in the #8008 Challenge in which individuals, groups, schools and businesses create an image of #8008 in an imaginative way as possible. These images are then uploaded onto Childline’s Facebook page for everyone to enjoy.
Chairperson of Childline Gibraltar, Annie Green, said :"Blue Week is one of the most important weeks of the year for Childline. It gives us an opportunity to speak directly to Gibraltar’s young people and to engage with the local community and businesses."
