Big Give Christmas Challenge 2023

Nikita Salt (Grants Administrator) and Cristina Chui

This year’s Big Give campaign went down to the wire – with less than 24 hours on the clock some generous donations helped us across the finish line to raise an amazing £51,470 through online donations. With Big Give matched funding and Gift Aid, this brought our total to a whopping £108,998! 

Thank you to everyone who donated and helped spread the word - we couldn’t have done it without you. Many thanks also to our Champion, The Reed Foundation, and Pledgers (Matthew Lindsey-Clark, Roger Barnes, Philip Miles, Julian Hardwick and Christopher Clarke) for matching the donations.

The money raised from our Big Give campaign will help us continue providing fairer access to Classics across the UK. We will be directing these funds predominantly towards the recruitment and support of our schools in the North and Midlands, ensuring that more pupils access a diverse and enriching classics education no matter where they live.
