Big Give Christmas Challenge 2025

Creativity is the key to bright futures. With your help, we will provide opportunities that transform, inspire, and empower the lives of children and young people every day. Let’s get to work!

Our work is transformative. Through inclusive, creative programmes, Shakespeare North empowers children and young people to grow in confidence, ambition, and resilience. By placing community at the core, we strengthen connections and promote wellbeing. In three years, over 26,000 children and young people have been engaged.

Every donation you give between now and 12 noon on 9 December on the official Big Give campaign page will be doubled through match funding. Match funding means that for every £1 donated to our work with young people, £1 will be gifted by our donors to make sure your gift means the most this holiday season.

All funds raised support our children and young people’s outreach programme, with an annual budget of over £100,000 covering staff and activity costs. Raising over £6,000 allows for increased programme sustainability. Even if the target isn’t met, every donation benefits the children and young people we work with, ensuring the campaign’s purpose is fulfilled.
