What is Conga Line for Childline?
Conga Line for Childline is our exciting new school campaign. We are asking students nationwide to dress up in their best Halloween outfits to school and on your break do a spooky Conga Line for Childline! Play some fang-tastic music and make a Conga Line throughout your class, school, P.E hall or yard. Each student will donate €4 to support Ireland’s only 24hr listening service for children and teenagers nationwide.
Dress to Impress:
Dance Your Heart Out:
After you’ve flaunted your fang-tastic outfits, get ready to dance! Each class will form a conga line that will make its way through the school or class, spreading joy and awareness for Childline. Remember, it’s not just about the sweets this Halloween; it’s about spreading love, kindness, and support for those who need it most. Let’s make this Halloween Conga Line for Childline a memory to last forever!
