Big Give Christmas Campaign

Thank you all for your generous donations during this year’s Big Give Christmas Challenge.

This year, we raised £9,421 (incl. gift aid) through the campaign, with 33 donors to help with essential upgrades to our much-loved Chrysalis Theatre.

Why Your Support Matters

At the heart of our community is the Chrysalis Theatre—a vibrant space used daily by residents for drama, music, movement, scriptwriting, and learning the technical skills required to run a purpose-built venue. These activities help build confidence, communication skills, peer relationships, and a deep sense of purpose.

Christmas Jumper Jaunt Success - Big Thanks to our Christmas Jumper Jaunters

Well done to everyone – our residents, support workers, staff, their families, and everyone who came along to do the 1-mile and 5km ‘jaunt’ and raise funds for our community. It was an incredibly fun morning, and everyone had a great time.

Both routes started and finished at Camphill MK in Willen Park, and each participant received a handmade medal from our pottery.

We had almost 100 people take part. Osa, our facilities apprentice, came in 2nd with a time of 26.25 (PB for a 5K) minutes.

A big thank you to the Redway Runners for their support!

What’s even more fantastic is that the Jumper Jaunt raised almost £1902.20 for our charity!

Thank you, everyone! You are all amazing!
