Rainbow Hub has received £21,460 from the Big Give Christmas Challenge thanks to the generosity of supporters and match funders.
Kat Nelson, Head of Fundraising and Marketing, Rainbow Hub, said, “What an incredible amount to be receiving this Christmas. Thank you to each and every individual who donated, no matter how big or small. All of your contributions will help us to make a lasting difference to the lives of children facing significant additional challenges through disability. A special thank you also goes to our funding Champion, ShareGift, – we are extremely grateful for your support.”
Big Give Campaigns help us all make more of a difference. They bring together larger donors, like philanthropists, and businesses, with the giving public and the charities who need them. They match what the public and large funders donate. And so double the difference that everyone, including the charities, can make.
Big Give’s Christmas Challenge has become the UK’s biggest public fundraising campaign in 2024 after raising a record-breaking £44.7 million in just one week with 74% of participating charities meeting or exceeding their fundraising targets and 95% of all available match funds being utilised.
This amount raised is particularly notable given the ongoing impact of the cost of living crisis, which has placed additional strain on donors and charities alike. The funds raised will provide crucial support for charities grappling with increased operational costs and soaring demand for their services. The Christmas Challenge doubles the difference of the public’s donations, which are matched by Big Give’s ‘Champion’ partners.
