The Big Give: Help emotionally vulnerable children thrive

The Big Give Christmas Challenge 2025

Between Tuesday 2 and Tuesday 9 December, we’re taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge.

Can you help us raise £7,500 to support children and young people experiencing Emotional Based School Avoidance, the refusal to attend school due to emotional distress?

Your donations will help us provide a haven for children and young people to express themselves, develop as individuals, and work towards goals outside of mainstream education.

Every £1 donated during the week will be doubled by our match funders! One donation, twice the impact.

​Want to be reminded when match funding is available?
