The Big Give - Christmas Challenge 2025

December 2nd - 9th

Empowering Children with Disabilities to Thrive

This week any donation to our Christmas Campaign 'The Gift of Play' will be doubled thanks to the Big Give.

Once £6,000 has been raised it immediately unlocks match funding and doubles the pot to £12,000, to be added to our Christmas Campaign, The Gift of Play, which aims to help more children receive the vital sensory toys they need. 

The Big Give campaign has been helping charities since 2007 with the simple aim of making double the difference. This year we are being supported by our corporate sponsor TFH Ltd, which supplies all the sensory toys for our Play Therapy Pods as well as those used in the Community Play sessions, and the Big Give champion Reed Foundation.

“Thanks to Newlife’s loan of a bed from its Emergency Equipment Loan service, Elliott is safe through the night. Newlife has been incredible! The bed is revolutionary – it kept Elliott safe after surgery and now, he barely wakes at night and can’t climb out, which means we can all get more sleep.”

Sarah, Mum of Elliott, aged two

“The Play Therapy Pod is so much more than just a box of toys. It has given us the chance to make lasting memories as a family.”

 

 

Cortney, Mum of Oscar, aged three

“This power chair will literally be a lifesaver for our little boy and will enable him to ‘physically‘ keep up with his peers. Thank you Newlife for giving us as a family a new life. We will be forever grateful.”

 

Katie, Mum of Lucas, aged ten
