Do you want your donation to have double the impact? Join us in December for our annual fundraising campaign with the Big Give.
Tuesday 1 December – Tuesday 8 December
The Big Give is back. For the past nine years, every December, we have called on our generous supporters’ festive spirit to help maximise the impact of Classics across state schools. Last year we counted on you, and you delivered: thank you!
Our target for this year is £100,000.
For each and every pound you give during the Big Give week, we will unlock up to £50,000 in match funding from our generous pledgers, Roger Barnes, Julian Hardwick and Philip Miles and The Reed Educational Trust Limited for their champion funding support.
One donation, double the difference.
This year, your gifts will help to sustain Classics in state schools, especially in areas of deprivation. Since our founding in 2010, Classics for All has supported 1,575 state schools across the UK, 9,000 teachers and more than 220,000 pupils. Your support can help these schools to continue and develop their Classics provision; long-term guidance, mentoring and advice is vital for the sustainable implementation of Classics.
Register your interest to support the Big Give and we will keep you up to date when it launches.
'I have been supporting Classics for All through the Big Give Christmas Challenge every year since 2018. As a donor, I am hugely excited to know that any money I donate through the Big Give will have twice the impact of a normal donation thanks to the matched funding arrangements. I hope both new and existing donors will take full advantage of this benefit and support Classics for All in the Big Give this December.'

'Latin has influenced my life in so many ways, helping me grasp a once alien culture and understanding the many nuances of contemporary language. Its influence will never fade from the corners of my life.'
