The Big Give Christmas Challenge is the UK’s biggest collaborative fundraising campaign, championing a wide range of charitable organisations.

For one week only, donations made to charities through The Big Give website are doubled at no extra cost to supporters, thanks to match funding.

In 2023, Thrive was selected to take part and we were incredibly fortunate to have match funding from our pledger, the Leisure and Outdoor Furniture Association (LOFA), for the second year running and additional match funding from our Big Give Champion The Hospital Saturday Fund.

During the Challenge, which ran from 28th November to 5th December an amazing £10,000 was donated to Thrive, which grew to an incredible £20,000.

Helping us to transform even more lives through promoting and providing Social & Therapeutic Horticulture across the UK.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part - whether you donated or you helped to raise awareness of the challenge and our work.

As part of the 2023 Big Give Christmas Challenge, we shared Rowena's story.

The difference coming to Thrive has made for her is it's a much richer life. It's given her a degree of independence.
