Wheesht The Big is back

Later this year we see the return of The Big Wheesht, one of our most important annual fundraisers where everyone is asked to ‘Haud their Wheesht’

We’ll be inviting people to sign up for a sponsored silence with a difference, encouraging participants to stay quiet to raise vital funds, while at the same time experiencing what it is like for hundreds of thousands of older people who live in silence for days at a time.

Do you have grandkids you’d like to keep quiet for a while or maybe you’d like to challenge yourself to be sponsored to stay silent for as long as possible? The challenge can be completed on any day in September and supporters can take part individually, or as part of team within their school, work or local community.

How to take part

• Take part in a sponsored silence

• Go silent on social media

• Part with your mobile phone

• Host your own silent disco or danceathon

• Hold a lip sync battle

You can choose to remain silent in person, online or host a silent event. It could be for 2 hours, 24 hours or even more – the choice is yours.

Your challenge, your way, on a date that suits you in September. Remember that the bigger the challenge, the more funds you are likely to raise!

Do you know a business leader?

On the 14th September Age Scotland will hold its Big Wheesht corporate challenge. Do you know a business leader who has what it takes to put their entrepreneurial skills to the test and raise £1000 in silence, before being allowed to speak again? How the money is raised is completely up to the participant. Who doesn’t like a bit of healthy competition!

Sign up today!

Find out more or sign up today and we will support your efforts every step of the way. We can also provide some props for you to promote the event.
