FIRST there was the ice bucket challenge and now people are being invited to 'fill it not spill it' in a new app based on the charity fundraiser which saw people get soaked for research into Motor Neurone Disease.

Bolton-based Henry & Co are combining their game in which people are invited to fill a bucket with water — but be warned it is harder than it sounds — and encourage others to do the same on social media to raise money for five charities.

They are Claire House, Children's Hospice, BBC Children in Nee. Tap into WaterAid, Refugee Action and Rainbows, hospice for children and young people.

Adam Patel spokesperson, said: "We are a new start up company and this is our first app.

"The app is new and will appeal to people as it challenging . It tests the brain and touch reaction.

"For example you can play and get a high score and then challenge your partner, friends and siblings to beat your score or donate to charity."

The 27-years-old added: "Ice bucket challenge is old and has now passed its time.

"This is the app bucket challenge for 2016/17."

Mr Patel said the reason for choosing Claire House was because it is trying to expand its facility in Liverpool

He said: "The app will however set targets and change charities once the targets are met.

"So we will pick a cancer charity, animal charity, disabled children charity etc

"We will also be giving out monthly prizes and picking a winner with the highest score every month.

" All they have to do is follow @fillitdontspillit on instagram and send us the high score."

He said: "The game is a fun way of raising money for charity.

"We aim to get everybody involved and downloading and playing the game including celebrities and stars and most importantly donating to charity.

"Nick Pickard from Hollyoaks, Tony Hutchinson, has already retweeted us on twitter, and other well-known people have retweeted us.

"The app has got some good reviews which I am really excited about. People have been downloading it and playing it and raising money for charity."
