The Christmas Challenge utilises Big Give's ‘pledge’ model of match funding.
The Pledge model offers supporters of participating charities the opportunity to double their donations with match funding provided by a charity’s pledgers and Big Give’s Champions. A multitude of good causes to choose from. Here are some local ones that you might consider donating to:
Chickenshed: Creative Pathways - An inclusive creative training programme, supporting children aged 11-18 years from all educational and social backgrounds to gather skills, knowledge and experiences to support their development as inclusive creative leaders of the future.
The Felix Project: Give the gift of nutrition this Christmas - In the last year, thousands of people - many of them children - have been admitted to hospital suffering with malnutrition and vitamin deficiency diseases such as rickets. With your help, we can get fresh, nutritious food to children, young people, and their families who are most at risk.
Mayor's Fund for London: A fairer future for young Londoners - The cost of living crisis is unbearable for an increasing number of young people from low-income backgrounds. At the Mayor’s Fund for London, our food, education and employment programmes help to safeguard and transform the life chances of over 35,000 4–24-year-old young Londoners every year.
