SEEN is taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2024 !
About our project
Unplanned pregnancy and pregnancy loss support.
We need to fund 300 support sessions for clients who are facing unplanned pregnancy and pregnancy loss.
We aim to provide a safe and confidential space for women and their partners to talk and work through their feelings, and often very difficult
and traumatic circumstances, with qualified and caring professionals, taking the time they need to work through their situation.
For those who have been negatively impacted by loss, we offer a free 10-step support programme
to work through their emotions in a healthy and safe way. Our support is free, unbiased and confidential.
How you can help
As part of our application, we need our key supporters to make promises of funding, called ‘Pledges’,
which will be used as match funds to double online donations made to our charity during the campaign.
Your commitment to funding might also help us to secure additional match funds via a Champion (sourced by the Big Give)
We are aiming to raise a total of £2,625 in pledges to take part in the campaign.
Would you consider making a pledge of £50 or more to help us reach our target?
If you would be willing to make a pledge to us, you can do so by completing this online form by the deadline of Friday 30th August, 5pm.

What is the Christmas Challenge?
The Christmas Challenge is the UK’s biggest match-funded campaign.
For seven days, the challenge offers supporters of participating charities the opportunity to double their donations. And in doing so, make an extraordinary difference to the world’s biggest challenges.
It’s a simple idea. When the public donates to a charity through a Big Give campaign, we ask funders (philanthropists, foundations or corporates) to match that donation. So £50 from a member of the public, becomes £100 for a good cause.
One donation, twice the impact!
How does it work?
The matching pots used to double donations for charities taking part in the Christmas Challenge are made up of a combination of funds. These are funds sourced by the charity (‘Pledges’) and funds sourced by the Big Give (‘Champions’), which are available if we are successfully selected by a Champion.
- The timeline for fulfilling the pledge (i.e. transferring the funds to us) is between 10 December 2024, 12pm – 17th January 2025, 6pm
- The fulfilment of your pledge is conditional on us receiving the appropriate online donations during the campaign. You will only be required to pay a pro-rata amount of your pledge if we don’t hit our online target – it’s our guarantee to you that we are committed to raising additional donations.
- Please note that if you pledge to SEEN, you will not be able to make an online donation to us in December because your pledge will be used to match these donations.
