Double your donation this Christmas with the Big Give

We’re delighted to be taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge, the UK’s biggest match funding campaign.

For one week only, from 1–8 December 2026, donations made to our campaign will be doubled at no extra cost to you. We’ve set ourselves a target of £15,000 – which doubled will make a total of £30,000 and we need your help to achieve it!

Every pound you give to the Brain & Spine Foundation could do twice the good, helping us provide vital information and support to people affected by neurological conditions and their families.

What is the Big Give?

The Big Give is a match funding campaign that brings charities, their supporters and funding partners together to double the impact of public donations.

During the Christmas Challenge, donations made to participating charities are matched using funds pledged by supporters and Big Give Champion partners.

That means your donation could go twice as far. Give £10 and we could receive £20. Give £50 and we could receive £100.

When can I give?

Our campaign runs for one week only, from Tuesday 1 December until Tuesday 8 December 2026.

Only donations made during this campaign window are eligible to be doubled.

How do I make sure my gift is doubled?

Donations must be made through our dedicated Big Give campaign page.

Donations made through other channels, including cash, cheques or our usual donation page, cannot be matched.

If you’re a UK taxpayer, you can also add Gift Aid to your donation, allowing us to claim an additional 25p for every £1 donated, at no extra cost to you.

Our match funding pot is limited, so once it has been used, donations can no longer be doubled. The earlier you give, the better the chance of your donation being matched.

Where will your money go?

Our target is to raise £15,000 to help the Brain & Spine Foundation continue providing vital information and support to people affected by neurological conditions.

Through our Neuro Helpline, information resources and peer support services, we help people and their families navigate the challenges of living with a neurological condition.

For someone facing a new diagnosis, struggling with symptoms or feeling isolated, having somewhere to turn can make a real difference.

Your donation will help us be there when people need us most.

How your business can help
