The Big Give’s Christmas Challenge is the UK’s largest collaborative fundraising campaign, and we're proud to support it once again as a Champion Funder. This year’s campaign will run from 2nd to 9th December 2025, offering London-based charities that support children living in poverty the opportunity to have their donations doubled through matched funding.

In 2024, the campaign raised an incredible £6 million for 113 charities, helping over 185,000 children living in poverty across the capital. If your organisation supports children and young people in London, apply by 4th July 2025 for the chance to receive unrestricted matched funding and join our community of impact-driven Charity Partners.

Key dates:

  • July 4th 2025: Applications close (5pm)
  • August 29th 2025: Pledge deadline
  • October 8th 2025: Offer deadline
  • December 2nd – 9th (midday) 2025: Campaign
