This year Classics for All participated in The Big Give Christmas Challenge 2022, a match funding campaign where donations to participating charities are doubled.
Donations were matched thanks to our generous supporters Nicholas Barber, Roger Barnes, Christopher A Clarke, Michael and Clara Freeman, Marion Gibbs, Philip and Christine Miles, Karyl Nairn, and our Big Give Champion: The Julia and Hans Rausing Trust.
In this week long campaign, we raised £52,600 - match funded to give £102,600 (plus £10,265 in Gift Aid!)
Your donation being doubled means that we can:
- Introduce classics in 30 new primary schools in areas of socio-economic disadvantage.
- Strengthen classics in 30 secondary schools where teaching was disrupted by the pandemic.
- Give 200 teacher the skills, knowledge and confidence to teach classics sustainably.
- Ensure 4,500 young people are inspired by the myths, languages and cultures of the ancient world.
- Support 5 schools in the Northeast to engage with classics for the first time.
