Make twice the difference and support Linkage in Big Give’s Christmas Challenge!

This Christmas spread some magic and help make a difference in your community with Linkage Community Trust.

Linkage is excited to be taking part in the Christmas challenge and are aiming to raise £9,000 in just one week!

You can increase your donation to Linkage in this year’s Christmas Challenge and see the Big Give Doubler machine magically double your gift.

By supporting Linkage’s Christmas Challenge, you’re not just giving; you’re creating moments of independence, growth, and joy for individuals with learning difficulties and autism. Supporting invaluable services and opening doors to a world of possibilities. And don’t forget ‘Lottie,’ our sensory bus – an amazing service, bringing sensory therapy sessions to schools and communities.

Every donation – no matter the size – made between midday on 28^th November and Midday on 5^th December will be generously matched by our supporters at Ridgid Tool Shop and our Big Give champion, The Reed Foundation. This means your money will make twice the difference. It’s a simple idea – when the public donates to a charity through the Big Give Christmas Challenge campaign, it asks funders (philanthropists, foundations, government departments or corporates) to match that donation. So, £50 from a member of the public becomes £100 for Linkage Community Trust.

James Reed, Trustee of the Big Give and chairman of Reed, said:

“People who donate to their favourite charities via the Big Give platform this Christmas can do so knowing that their generosity will be multiplied. Our match funding champions will double the value of their donations, making a real, tangible difference to so many good causes. Big Give provides an efficient way to make your giving go further during difficult times. This will be especially important this year.”

How can you get involved?

From the 28th November to the 5th of December anyone can donate through our BigGive Linkage profile page.

Donations made in the seven days between midday on the 28^th November and midday on the 5^th December will be match funded.
