Aspire: Big Give Christmas Challenge
Aspire 糖心logo are determined to provide safe, secure housing and employment support for people in 糖心logoshire facing homelessness and disadvantage beyond COVID-19, preventing a return to pre-COVID levels of homelessness and disadvantage in our county.
The Big Give Christmas Challenge 2021
To work towards making this a reality, this year we have teamed up with The Big Give platform for the annual match funding Christmas Challenge. The Big Give鈥檚 Christmas Challenge supports UK-registered charities to raise funds by matching donations made through the campaign between 30th November and 7th December.
This means that every pound donated to No Going Back through the Christmas Challenge during this week will be doubled. With 拢17,000 secured in pledges today, Aspire are very excited to have the opportunity to take part in this challenge, and work towards matching this amount to reach 拢34,000 – the cost of supporting 12 people experiencing homelessness through a Housing First tenancy for one year, with dedicated caseworker support.
Donations can be made .
