The Big Give Women and Girls Match Fund is a 7 day match funding campaign working with charities like ourselves who are dedicated to serving the women and girls in our communities.
Last year’s campaign titled, Sexual violence: You’re Not Alone, was a huge success, raising an incredible £5,000 in one week to help support women & girls affected by sexual violence. Thanks to everyone who donated, the Big Give has meant that we have been able to provide 19 women and girls with sexual violence counselling, each receiving a course of 6 free therapy sessions.
One of our clients, Issy, is a 19-year-old girl who was referred to our Plymouth Sexual Violence Counselling Service. I’ll let Issy tell you herself how the support of the Big Give campaign has made such an incredible difference to her and “changed her life”.
This year we are aiming to raise £10,000 to set up a Crisis Fund for Women & Girls Fleeing Domestic Abuse (£5,000 in online donations, which will then be matched by The Big Give).
Please visit our dedicated Big Give page to find out about how you, your business or your community can help support this year’s fundraising campaign. And keep an eye out for more information to follow in the run up to the campaign itself.
