Big Give Christmas Challenge Success

We Did It! £12,068 Raised in the Big Give Christmas Challenge – Thank You!

We have some incredible news to share: thanks to your generosity and support, we raised an amazing £12,068, (£12,757 including gift aid) during the Big Give Christmas Challenge—smashing our original target of £10,010!

This achievement is more than just a number. Taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge had a transformative impact on our charity and the families we support. We want to say a huge thank you to The Monday Charitable Trust, our corporate pledger and all the other businesses, community groups and individuals that helped us to achieve this incredible amount!

The matched funding mechanism was a powerful motivator for donors, creating urgency and doubling the value of every gift. This not only helped us raise significantly more than a standard appeal, but also attracted new supporters who were inspired by the chance to make their contribution go further.

Beyond the financial boost, the campaign strengthened our credibility and visibility. Being part of such a well-recognised national initiative reassured donors that their gifts were being used effectively and gave us a platform to share our mission with a wider audience.

The funds raised will enable us to provide vital home-visiting support to families in need within our community. Support like this is critical at a time of rising need.

In short, the Christmas Challenge amplified our reach, deepened donor engagement, and helped us deliver real, measurable outcomes for the families we work alongside.

Thank You for Making This Possible

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you 💖. Your kindness and belief in our work have made this possible.
