The Big Give Christmas Challenge & Giving Tuesday

 

 

 

It’s coming up to that time of year again as we approach Christmas and two major fundraisers take place.  Here they are and watch for more charities coming on to the list in the next few days.  Why not make a donation on behalf of an animal lover for their Christmas present?

Big Give Christmas Challenge 2024  

Give between 12 noon, 3 December and 12 noon, 3 December 2024 and donations can have double the impact.  One donation – twice the impact!  Over 750 charities are taking part.  It’s been a nightmare of a year for many of them   You'll find a lot of UK charities on this site.

Giving Tuesday – 3 December 2024 #GivingTuesday

Do something for your favourite animal charity!  This could be anything from finding out how you can volunteer (if you don't already), spreading the word about their donation, asking people to make a donation on your behalf for your Christmas/birthday present, adopting an animal, or just straight donating.  Many charities have match funders going on, which means that if you donate, your donation could be matched - details will be on the charities' own websites.

Please let us not forget those charities fighting to help animals in war zones such as Ukraine and Gaza.   A special shout-out for them.   Breaking the Chains International, Safe Haven for Donkeys, Kabul Small Animal Rescue, Warriors for Wildlife, and others could really use donations now to help them in very dangerous times and places.  Network for Animals is another.

Don't forget also that many employers will match your donations, so do ask them.
