More about the Big Give Christmas Challenge

The Big Give run match funding campaigns to help charities make an even bigger difference.

For just one week this December, every donation made through Shine's Big Give campaign page (which will be linked to above during the campaign week) will be matched pound for pound. That means a £10 donation becomes £20, £25 becomes £50, and £50 becomes £100. 

Your support will help keep Shine's First Contact Helpline available for anyone seeking information, reassurance and understanding when they need it most. 

Every donation will help Shine continue answering calls, emails and messages from people affected by spina bifida, hydrocephalus and related conditions. 

Thank you for being part of this chance to double our impact this winter. See you in December!
