Big Give Christmas Challenge 2026
No one left out
Big Give Christmas Challenge 2026
People with a learning disability and autistic people are far more likely to face isolation, cut off from the friendships and opportunities most of us take for granted.
This Christmas, our No one left out campaign is raising money to change that. Your donation will help fund weekly groups where people with additional needs can connect, build friendships, and take part in activities that genuinely enrich their lives.
From midday on 1st December to midday on 8th December, every donation you make through our Big Give page will be doubled until our match funding runs out.
We need to raise £7,500, which will be doubled to an incredible £15,000. For every £1 you give, we receive £2!

How the Christmas Challenge works
Our match funding pot is made up of generous pledges from supporters and Big Give Champions. During campaign week, every £1 you give unlocks £1 from our match pot, so your gift is worth twice as much.
How you can get involved
Add a calendar reminder to your diary for December 1st at midday, including this link to our campaign page.
The donate button will appear on the campaign page when the campaign launches. You can’t donate before then.

Donations must be made through our Big Give no one left out campaign page to be doubled.
Your support gives Will a place to belong
"Coming to LinkAble reminds me of what I can do, who I am, and that I can do more than I think."
Will, 39, has been coming to LinkAble for over 10 years. He enjoys drawing and exploring new places, but anxiety can make it difficult for him to do the things he wants to do. Will describes his anxiety “like there is a shadow or pressure hanging over me”.
It can stop him taking up opportunities or trying new experiences. Travelling independently is a particular challenge. Despite these worries, Will has achieved things he once thought were beyond him. One of his proudest achievements was the recent LinkAble trip to France. "I wasn’t sure I was up to it, but I think it went rather well!"
LinkAble has helped him discover the value of friendship and community. "Getting to know people and socialising is my favourite part of LinkAble. I used to prefer being on my own, but now I find that if I’m part of a group it makes me want to do more."
