Big Give Christmas Challenge 2015

Support the NCO this Christmas and have your donation doubled by the UK’s biggest match funding scheme!

We are delighted to let you know that the NCO has once again been selected to participate in this year's Big Give Christmas Challenge, the online scheme which allows donations to be doubled.

The 2015 Christmas Challenge opens at midday on Friday 4 December when the first tranche of match funding will be released. The second release of match funding will be at midday on Saturday 5 December. Donations will be doubled on a first-come first-served basis until the match funds run out or until Monday 14 December at 5pm.

Competition to have donations doubled is high and the Big Give only allocates a certain amount of match funding each day, so we recommend you donate as soon after the daily start time of 12pm (midday) as you can manage. All donations must be made online.

Sir Alec Reed launched the Big Give in October 2007 to help proactive philanthropists donate intelligently. The scheme works by challenging charities to double their donations through a limited pot of match funding. So if you donate £5, the NCO could receive £10.

All gifts are welcome between £5 and £5,000 as we try to hit our £40,000 online target and use Big Give funds to double your donation. If you are able to help us to ensure that musically talented children have the chance to develop their potential we would love to hear from you. Please email Claire or call 01934 418855, and we shall send you a reminder and a guide to take you through the process nearer the date.
