The Big Give Christmas Challenge Campaign



Teenagers and a Me2 Club staff member holding up signs that ready "one donation, twice the impact"

This year we’re looking to raise a total of £10,000. If we receive £5000 in online donations, the Big Give will donate an extra £5000! We will be raising money to continue our mission of enabling the inclusion of children with additional needs and disabilities into mainstream activities and tackling the harm caused by exclusion and isolation.

Me2 Club has been selected to participate in the Big Give Christmas Challenge campaign, the UK’s biggest online match funding campaign taking place for 7 days from 28th November to 5th December. Every donation made to our campaign during this week will be doubled at no extra cost to you thanks to our Big Give Pledgers and Champion Funders.

£5 will allow a child to start on their journey with us. £10 will provide one weekly leisure activity session for a child. £20 will allow us to recruit a child a new volunteer 'buddy'.

In 2022 your generous donations meant that we could…

  • Support 155 young people to help them participate in the activities they love.
  • Provide 2,633 hours of respite to parents and families.
  • Train 61 new volunteers as well as continuing to support our volunteers from previous years.
  • Hold 3 accessible parties for our families to enjoy where our young people can have fun with children who also have additional needs/disabilities.
  • Start our new Youth Forum, Say YES, for young people with additional needs in Wokingham to meet up and have their voices heard to improve the local authority and health services for young people with disabilities.

2023 marks the 20th anniversary of Me2 Club. Your donations meant that this year we could start 2 new projects, our teen group and Youth Social Action Group, which provide new opportunities for young people with additional needs to make friends and feel included without needing to sign up for our core service. We want to continue to expand our services and reach even more young people, but we need your help!

If you would like to support our work this year through a fundraising activity or donation, please consider doing so during the Christmas Challenge week, when your donation will be doubled and make even more of a difference to us. One donation, twice the impact!  As a small local charity, we are always grateful for every donation no matter how small.

For donations, pleases visit our Big Give page. Please note the donate button will appear on the campaign page when the campaign launches. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us at Chin@me2club.org.uk.
