Dear Friend,
Today, I’d love to invite you to join thousands of people taking part in one of the year's most colourful (and gloriously unfashionable) fundraising events.
It’s called Loud Shirt Day – a colourful celebration where clubs, teams and communities wear their boldest, brightest and most outrageous shirts to raise awareness and vital funds for children with hearing loss.
It’s simple, fun and a great excuse to swap your team colours for something a little louder. Whether it’s a "best worst shirt" competition, themed training session or colourful club day, every loud shirt helps give children the support they need to thrive.
Mark your calendar for Friday, 16 October 2026! Or join in any day that works best for you.
Here’s how Loud Shirt Day works:
On Friday, 16 October (or any day that works best for you) wear your loudest, boldest shirt and raise funds to help children with hearing loss…it’s as simple as that!
“What began as a fun idea has become a much-loved tradition. More importantly, everyone knows they're making a genuine difference.” Nathan, Loud Shirt Day participant, Keysborough Golf Club
