The Big Give Christmas Challenge

Sharing food for over 1 million meals this winter

The Big Give

You did it! With your support, we’ve raised £100,000 and lit the golden sprout!

A huge thank you to everyone who donated and shared this appeal.

Didn’t get your donation in yet?

Your gift won’t be matched, but there’s still time to make a difference to people in need across the south west this winter: families choosing between heating and eating, older people fighting isolation, those without a home. Every £1 means food for 4 meals – a lifeline at the coldest time of year, and proof that someone cares.

A Christmas tree with foodie fairy lights to represent donations. All ten lights are lit to show we've raised £100,000! The background is red with small gold stars and there's a FareShare South West logo in the top right corner and a Big Give logo in the left top corner

Here’s what you’re helping to make possible this winter:

  • over 1300 winter parcels for families packed with food essentials, recipe kits and activity packs
  • extra food to support homeless and vulnerably housed people to get a hot meal from a friendly face over a cold festive period
  • free-range turkey legs for 1200 Christmas dinners
  • food for over 1 million meals shared with charities over the winter months, every week between November and January

Many thanks to the generous match funders and pledgers who supported this appeal:

Charities we Support

4.6 million tonnes of the food that goes to waste each year is still edible

That’s enough for ten billion meals.
