As part of Virgin Balloon Flights' ongoing efforts to raise money for Hope House Children’s Hospices through Virgin Unite’s ‘Changing the Course Campaign’, one of our marketing execs Kirsty Mills treated us all to 24 hours of complete silence! “This is honestly one of the hardest things I have ever had to do! You really don’t realise how much you need to make noise to communicate. Not
everything can be answered with a nod or shake of the head and no one seemed to understand my hand signals.”
“In the end, I used a whiteboard and a marker pen and took it everywhere with me, it even came to the gym, McDonalds and Sainsbury’s!” she added.
Kirsty’s 24 hours of silence and awkward communication through office hours
and everyday tasks, bagged the charity just over £400 and a step closer to a £7000 finish.
