Wear red for ECHO this National Heart Month

Wear Red

Easy peasey to do and organise!

Whether at School, Work, your Community Club or with Friends; it could be a red t-shirt, jumper, dress, trousers, a onesie, socks, shoes or a hat! Just Make it Red! The more the better! If you’re limited to office attire, why not try a red pair of socks or a tie, and encourage colleagues to do the same!

Could they also include a section about ECHO and National Heart Month in their Assembly or enews?
You can use our template letters to ask your School or Workplace to take part
Then just choose your day for everyone to donate to the ECHO Wear Red campaign and Wear Red to School or Work

Be Bold and Be Loud, Wear Red, Fundraise and Snap a Selfie – tag @echocharity and #NationalHeartMonth #TeamECHO #WearRed

Choose a Challenge!

Fancy doing something else? The choice is yours but here are some ideas to get your started:

Get Baking! You can hold your own bake sale, or ask friends and family to bake too and donate cakes and biscuits – then sell them to raise funds for ECHO!

Red Raffle! Ask your local shops and businesses to donate something Red, and then sell raffle tickets for ECHO!

Red themed Quiz! You can do it online or choose a venue like your local pub or hall. Have a red themed round for bonus points!

Sports Tournaments! Part of a sports league or do your children play? From footy and rugby to swimming, could you gather the troops for a fundraising tournament for ECHO?

Get musical! How about a sponsored singathon? Or singing some Red songs?! Think Simply Red and Lady in Red 😊
