MacIntyre are taking part in The Big Give Christmas Challenge 2021 to raise £1,700 in just one week! These funds will be used for the charity's work to support families of people who draw on their support in Milton Keynes.
Every penny raised during this challenge will be used to develop family support sessions, workshops and co-produced resources to help families feel more equipped, empowered and better connected. The sessions and workshops are intended to reduce isolation by creating peer support networks and providing a safe space for discussions. Donations will be matched during the week’s campaign - one donation, twice the impact.
Alaina Cornish, Marketing and Fundraising Manager at MacIntyre says, "MacIntyre was founded by families and continues to have the needs of families at the heart of our approach. This year we’re looking to raise a total of £3,400. We have already secured £1,700 in pledges and now need to raise £1,700 in online donations during the Christmas Challenge Week to support our work with families – and we’d love your support."
MacIntyre is a national charity supporting young people and adults with a learning disability and/or autism in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas. MacIntyre’s vision is for all people with learning disabilities to live lives that make sense to them, so your generosity and support will make a real difference.
