Big Give Christmas Challenge 2025
This year’s appeal, supported by Lesley Garrett, will raise vital funds for musicians across the UK
We’re very pleased to announce that we are taking part in this year’s Big Give. You can now donate to us until midday on Tuesday 9 December to have your donation doubled at no extra cost.
Thanks to the generosity of the Bryan Adams Foundation and the Reed Foundation, all gifts to us for the next week will be matched. That means that any donation you make will go twice as far in helping musicians who need it.
We’re also thrilled to be working with Lesley Garrett on this year’s challenge. Lesley has been a tireless ambassador for our work for many years — she received support from us early in her career, and knows first hand the challenges that musicians can face.
“Without their assistance during my time of need, I may never have had my wonderful career as a singer. I’m glad that today, thanks to our generous donors, they continue to give musicians like me this very same level of care and support.”
Today, thousands of musicians are still facing real hardship. Rising costs, uncertain work, and the impact of illness and injury all take their toll. Musicians give us so much, but doing so can involve many different challenges.
We support musicians at every stage of their career, from those seeking to understand the industry to retired artists dealing with health issues and isolation.
By donating to us this week, you’ll help us to keep doing what we do. This in turn will help the musicians who create the music that means so much to all of us.
