We took part in The Big Give Christmas Challenge 2022 and were delighted with the support we received. For the past two years you have helped us raise over £40,000 in total through the Big Give Christmas Challenge. This has been hugely important in enabling us to support tiny babies in paediatric intensive care (2020-21), and children in special schools (2021-22).

This year, despite the squeeze on everyone’s finances, your repeated the success for a third year. Thanks to the generosity of the Victoria Wood Foundation and The Reed Foundation, we had a ‘matching pot’ of funds – £7,500 in total. Supporter’s donations exceeded the matching pot, and the total raised, including Gift Aid, was £17,240!  This means we can take  many more special schools, where it can be transformative for communication, learning, and physical and mental well-being.

Thank you to all who donated to the appeal!
