Double your donation for brain injury support

Once a year, for one week, every donation to Headway Thames Valley made through the Big Give Christmas Challenge is matched pound for pound.

Your gift goes twice as far for local people rebuilding their lives after brain injury, and for the families who support them.

*The 2026 Big Give Christmas Challenge runs from 12pm on Tuesday 1 December to 12pm on Tuesday 8 December.

ONE DONATION

TWICE THE IMPACT!

What is the Big Give Christmas Challenge?

The Big Give is a national match funding campaign.

Each year, it gives charities one week when donations are doubled, thanks to pledgers and funders who put up a match pot in advance. We’re grateful to everyone who makes our match pot possible.

How does the doubling work?

When you give through our Big Give page during campaign week, the match pot adds the same amount, so £20 from you becomes £40 for us.

The pot is limited: once it runs out, your donation still reaches us but won’t be doubled.  Only donations made through our Big Give page are doubled.

Interested in helping fund a future match pot? Pledges can come from individuals or companies, and we’re always looking for new partners. Get in touch with our Fundraising Manager to find out more.

What will my donation pay for?

Your gift supports our work across Berkshire and South Oxfordshire. Here’s what a doubled donation could pay for:

£35 becomes £70

Could pay for two free assessments

£160 becomes £320

Could pay for a place on our Living With Brain Injury Course

£180 becomes £360

Could pay for 12 weeks of neuro physiotherapy

and more!

I can’t give this year. Can I still help?

Yes, and it really helps. Share this page with friends, family and colleagues.

A message from someone you know is far more likely to be read than a post from a charity.

Where your donations go

Your fundraising helps pay for our Living with Brain Injury courses, brain injury support groups, and advice and counselling for adults across Berkshire and South Oxfordshire.

We’ve supported local people living with brain injury for almost 40 years, our clients rate our courses 10 out of 10 and 98% say they’d recommend our services.
