This Big Give - double your donation

The Aplastic Anaemia Trust apply each year to hold a Christmas Appeal during The Big Give Christmas challenge - so we can double your donations.

It's a great time of year to donate to us for extra impact. If you're planning a fundraising event in November or early December, you can also choose to donate what you've raised during this week in December to make sure it's doubled!

Pledge as little as £100 to become a Big Give Pledger!

The Big Give Christmas Challenge allows us to double our donations with match funding provided by a charity’s pledgers (companies or donors like you) and Big Give’s Champion Funders. 

To take part in The Big Give Challenge we need people, companies or trusts to pledge to match donations. You can pledge from £100 up to £5,000. 

If your company usually makes a donation at Christmas, this is a lovely opportunity for your Christmas donation to go even further - as you'll be helping us to raise more, effectively doubling your contribution!

We don't need the money yet. You will donate your pledge after the Big Give appeal has finished in December. 

We’ll add your logo to the appeal page and tag you in every social media post, email and on our website.

How It works

How being a Big Give Pledger can quadruple your donation!

Armstrong Richardson are brilliant pledgers, who regularly help The AAT participate in The Big Give.

In 2025, Armstrong Richardson pledged £2500. Because of their pledge, Big Give Champion funders Reed Foundation opted to provide an additional £2500, creating a potential matching pot of £5000. 

Because we had this matching pot available, The Aplastic Anaemia Trust were able to participate in The Big Give and raise an additional £5000 from community donations during the appeal week. 

That's how Armstrong Richardson made their £2500 donation worth £10,000 for The Aplastic Anaemia Trust. 

Are you interested in making your donation work harder? Pledgers can support us for as little as £100. If you'd be interested in helping our Christmas appeal this year, please get in touch with Hannah  on [email protected] or call 07849691356
