Save the Date: The Big Give Christmas Challenge is back for 2025!

Get ready to have your donations doubled! We’re excited to announce that we’ll be participating in the Big Give Christmas Challenge once again. From midday on Tuesday 2 December until midday on Tuesday 9 December 2025, every gift made to our campaign will be matched.

‍

Building on last year’s success, this year’s campaign aims to extend our Inpatient Unit admissions to evenings and weekends, providing vital out-of-hours care and ensuring our specialist care is available when it is needed most.

‍

Thanks to the generosity of our Big Give Pledgers and our Champion, The Reed Foundation, we’ve secured £75,000 in match funding, which means we stand to raise a total of £150,000 with your help.

‍

Last year, we set our sights on reaching a total of £100,000, including match funding, and we raised this in just 48 hours of the campaign launching, thanks to your incredible generosity.

‍

If you're planning on donating this festive season, please consider giving during the campaign period so that your gift can have double the impact and help us reach our target to extend our hours and provide endless care.
