The Big Give Small Charity Week 2026
We are thrilled to have been chosen to take part in the Small Charity Week match-funding campaign this summer, championed by The Big Give, Global’s Make Some Noise, and NCVO!
Our summer campaign has never been more important – right now, thousands of children in London are facing the devastating effects of poverty, social isolation, and mental health struggles. Without intervention, these challenges can shape the course of their entire lives.
But with your help, we can change their story.
From Monday 22nd to Monday 29th June 2026, we will raise £10,000, which will be match-funded by Global’s Make Some Noise. This means they will double every donation, with the potential to raise an enormous £20,000 in just one week.
One donation, twice the impact!
You can help us hit our target by donating through the button below:

Please note: Donations are only match-funded from Monday 22nd to Monday 29th June 2026 when donated through our campaign page on The Big Give, linked above.
How Does Small Charity Week Work?
Every year we take part in The Big Give, and this year we are excited to be chosen for the Small Charity Week match-funding campaign. From Monday 22nd to Monday 29th June 2026, we are aiming to raise £10,000 through donations, with every donation matched by Global’s Make Some Noise.
With their generous support, this means we are aiming to raise an incredible £20,000 in just one week, with every penny donated helping us reach Little Londoners who need our early intervention mentoring support the most.
Donate through our campaign on The Big Give website from Monday 22nd to Monday 29th June 2026, and every pound you give will be doubled.
Crucially, donations must be made during the campaign week to be eligible for match-funding and to have double the impact.
Last year, we raised an amazing £12,809 during our Champions for Children campaign, meaning we could support 303 children in 2025. This year you can help us break our campaign record and raise £20,000 so that we can support 380 children in 2026.

How Else Can I Get Involved?
The match-funding window is just one week, but remember, you can always do a fundraising activity outside of it. Anytime between now and then, you could do a cake sale, coffee morning or dinner party - then hang on to the proceeds and donate during the campaign.
Everything donated between Monday 22nd to Monday 29th June 2026 counts, as long as it goes through our campaign page on The Big Give website.
If you have a fundraising idea or want to ask any questions, please email Elena from our Fundraising Team on E.Gil-Gutierrez@thekidsnetwork.org.uk
