This year, Safe in Sussex is taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge, the UK’s biggest online match funding campaign

The Christmas Challenge helps UK-registered charities to raise funds for their projects by doubling donations when the campaign goes live on 29th November. You can find full details on theBigGive.org.uk.

They are hoping to raise vital funds for the project Finding Freedom From Abuse – Funding a Refuge Support Worker. They want to use funds raised to pay for a Refuge Support Worker in one of our 4 refuges (total cost £10,600 per annum). They provide essential assistance and empower the people we support to rebuild their lives free from abuse.

As part of their application, they need the public and key supporters to donate online during the week beginning 29th November and ending 6th December. They have been lucky enough to secure pledge and match funding through the Women and Girl’s fund, so anything we make up to £5,000 will be matched. Your donation will be doubled – something that would be incredible for Safe in Sussex. Anything after the £5,000 cap will still go towards our cause.

Donations must take place during this week and be made directly to our online campaign page here: https://donate.thebiggive.org.uk/campaign/a056900002ND6PVAA1

They would love to be in a position as the week starts to already have secured promises of donations from some of the key companies and businesses Safe in Sussex has a relationship with already. Is this something you would be willing to do?
