What is Big Give?

Big Give is the UK's leading match-funding charity, doubling the difference of donations in order to make a positive difference. 

Every year Big Give runs the Christmas Challenge, an annual seven-day online campaign of match funding.

 

This seven-day window is called Campaign Week; all donations made within this window are doubled. 

Campaign Week 2025: 2nd - 9th December

This means that from the 2nd - 9th of December, we need your support and donations to help us reach our 2025 Big Give target!

DINE, Jack Gosling

Within Campaign Week, one of the fundraisers we will be running is an exciting DINE event with executive chef Jack Gosling. 

Jack Gosling is a highly renowned and talented chef whose culinary journey has taken him across Australia, Asia, and Central America, and includes six years at the two Michelin-starred Spectrum in Amsterdam’s Waldorf Astoria.

Jack is the Executive Chef at The Harper in Norfolk, a Luxury hotel that houses Stanleys, a fine dining restaurant that blends world-class culinary technique with local and global ingredients to create refined, seasonal dishes.

This is an event and experience that you won't want to miss out on, and all profits will go towards supporting the life-changing work we do throughout Norfolk.

Real stories from our members

Bob image.jpg

Bob's Story

When Bob first walked through the doors of The Matthew Project, he had just left rehab.It wasn’t his first attempt at sobriety – he’d been hospitalised many times due to alcohol use and had tried to quit before, only to relapse. He arrived with no support in place, unsure of what to do next, but determined to make a change.

Hanaka image.jpg

Hananka's Story

Hananka was referred to our service due to concerns about regular substance use. Initially, support focused on harm reduction, helping Hananka understand the risks and impacts of her substance use. Over time, she gained the confidence to make healthier choices and began to self-advocate, even in challenging social situations.
