The Big Give Christmas Challenge is now live!
Make a donation from midday Tuesday 28th November, until midday Tuesday 5th December, and it will be worth double at no extra cost to you or Ataxia UK.
Time left to have your gift doubled
In 2022 your generous support brought in a wonderful £38,542 through the Christmas Challenge.
A wonderful total which ensured the development and continuation of the essential Ataxia UK Helpline and we're bringing The Big Give Christmas Challenge back in 2023 from midday Tuesday 28th November until midday Tuesday 5th December.
We want to make this the biggest and best Big Give Fundraiser for the ataxia community with the aim of bringing in a whopping £44,000 to support everyone affected by ataxia.
You can preview the Big Give Christmas Challenge page here. You can also sign-up below to register your interest and we'll let you know as soon as the donations go live.
“We urgently want treatments and cure. We fund and promote research with the aim of bringing this about. Until this is achieved, we will do all we can to provide support to people affected by ataxia, and improve the quality of treatment and care they receive, to enable them to have the highest possible quality of life.” – Wendy, Head of Services at Ataxia UK
This is the promise Ataxia UK makes to you and it is a promise we are committed to achieving – and this is why the Support Services Expansion Project was launched: to provide the ataxia community with the best support possible.
How does The Big Give Christmas Challenge work?
Gifts are matched from a pot which has been created by Pledgers & Champions. Pledgers come from Friends within the ataxia community without whom none of this would not be possible. This year's Champion is the Reed Foundation.
During the Christmas Challenge week from midday Tuesday 28th November until midday Tuesday 5th December, this pot is used to match your gift. Until this pot runs out, all gifts made during the Big Give Christmas Challenge will be doubled. After the match pot runs out, gifts can still be made to this appeal and are gratefully received.
