The Big Give Christmas Challenge

How your donation will make a difference

Open Arms' Community-Based Care Programme works closely with struggling families who have been referred by Social Welfare - strengthening their capacity to successfully care for a vulnerable infant at home with expert training, tailored support and essential baby supplies.

Guardians are also equipped and empowered to create new & sustainable income through activities such as farming, so they can independently provide for their families over the long-term and look forward to a self-sufficient future. 

Watch the video below to see our Community-Based Care team in action.

How The Big Give works

Thanks to the generosity of some wonderful key supporters, plus champion funding from The Coles-Medlock Foundation, we have an incredible £5,300 in pledged donations (our 'match fund pot'), waiting to be unlocked by your donations.

We need your help to secure these funds!

All you have to do is make your Christmas donation via The Big Give between 12pm Tuesday 3rd December - 12pm Tuesday 10th December and it will be doubled, until the match fund pot runs out. 

Any donations over and above this amount will add vital funds to our overall total and allow us to help even more families to stay together and thrive together. 

Please note: Donations need to be made through our Big Give campaign page in order to be doubled. (You can still donate via our website or over the phone, but please note these donations will not be doubled or count towards our overall campaign target.)
