How does the Christmas Challenge work?
Big Give brings together donations from the public and a limited pot of match funding. When you make an eligible donation through Brain Tumour Support’s Big Give campaign page during the campaign week, match funds can double your gift while they remain available.
- £25 could become £50
- £50 could become £100
- £100 could become £200
The Big Give donation page will show whether matching is available when you give. Donations made through Brain Tumour Support’s usual donation form or another fundraising platform will not automatically be doubled.
Fundraise before the week begins
There’s plenty you can do in advance. Bring colleagues together for a Christmas jumper day, host a bake sale or quiz, or plan a festive get-together with friends. Then arrange for the money raised to be donated through Brain Tumour Support’s Big Give campaign page during the matching week.
Before collecting money, please speak to our fundraising team about the best way to pay in your proceeds. If supporters donate directly to a separate JustGiving page, those individual payments will not automatically qualify for Big Give matching.

Save the dates
The campaign opens at midday on Tuesday, 1 December and closes at midday on Tuesday, 8 December 2026. Match funds are limited, so check the campaign page when it opens if you would like your donation to be doubled.
