We’re thrilled to announce that Settle has been recognised in the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2020 Awards – winning the “Best Newcomer” award.

In December 2020, Settle took part in the Big Give’s Christmas Challenge as our first-ever winter holiday fundraising campaign. Over the course of the campaign, we raised £8,060 for our programme costs from 82 online donors.

Our whole team is incredibly thankful for the award from the Big Give team. As a team, we’ve learnt a lot from the experience of running a fundraising campaign in the Christmas Challenge. With the “Best Newcomer” award comes a £1,000 prize, which will help us reach even more young people across 2021.

Thank you to everyone who donated and shared our Big Give campaign last year. With your generosity, we doubled our fundraising target! It really meant a lot to receive so much community support after such a testing year.

We would also like to thank again to our match funders: Colin Ellis & Moodys and Monday Charitable Trust.

Also, we are also grateful to these individuals who contributed to the campaign: Marks Consulting Partners, alongside another donation from a family who have been longtime supporters of Settle.

As an organisation, Settle is looking forward to working with even more young people this year – and to taking part in the Christmas Challenge 2021!
