The Big Give Christmas Challenge is the UK’s biggest match-funded campaign.

For seven days, the challenge offers supporters of participating charities the opportunity to double their donations. It’s a simple idea. When the public donates to a charity through a Big Give campaign, their donations are matched, so £50 from a member of the public, becomes £100 for a good cause.

In 2024 our Big Give Christmas Challenge raised £10,000 to support autistic children and young people. Thank you to everyone who supported the campaign. This year, our Big Give campaign will focus on supporting young people’s mental health this winter. The colder months can be especially challenging, and we want to ensure that no young person on the Isle of Wight feels alone.
