Big Give Christmas Challenge 2025

We’re pleased to let you know that The Creative Dimension Trust has been selected to take part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2025, the UK’s largest match-funding campaign.

 

When the public donates to a charity through a Big Give campaign, they ask funders (philanthropists, foundations or corporates) to match that donation. So, £50 from a member of the public, becomes £100 for TCDT.

During the seven-day Christmas Challenge, any donation made to TCDT via theBigGive.org.uk will be doubled. AKO Foundation, our assigned Big Give Champion, have generously committed to doubling public donations up to a total of £3,000.

If you are planning to support us this year, these dates are the ideal time to do so. In a climate of ongoing school budget cutbacks, your contribution will go even further – directly enabling more young people to access our free workshops, specialist tuition, work-experience opportunities and pathways into higher education and employment.

We would also be incredibly grateful if you could share this opportunity with your networks – friends, colleagues, community groups, or organisations who may be interested in supporting young people through our programmes.
