Big Give 2024 success! More than £90,000 raised for Challengers


Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, we’re delighted to announce that we hit our fundraising target in this year’s Big Give Christmas Challenge, raising a grand total of £96,182.75 (including Gift Aid)!

Over the Big Give week we received 262 donations from our amazing community of supporters. Your support has been truly phenomenal and we want to say a huge thank you to each and every one of you. Every single contribution, whether big or small, has made a massive difference and enabled us to achieve this remarkable milestone.

We want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, shared our campaign with friends and family, and cheered us on. We’d also like to say a very special thank you to Toby and Eddie’s families for allowing us to share their experiences and how much Challengers means to them.  

We would also like to express our gratitude to The Big Give and our incredible match funders, whose support helped double every donation, making your gifts go even further.

While the Big Give has come to an end and we’ve reached our target, the need for our services doesn’t stop there. The demand for support services is ever-growing, and with 4 in 5 parents saying they don’t receive the right level of support for their disabled child, we know it’s more important than ever to grow our services and be there to help families.   

Every additional pound raised will help us expand our reach and make a difference to even more families. If you haven’t yet donated, you can still make a difference by donating to Challengers. With the festive season upon us, you could ask others to make a donation in lieu of a present, or you could set up a monthly gift. 

Thank you for believing in Challengers and helping us to transform lives through power of play!
