Your donation doubled this Christmas!
WE’RE THRILLED to share that the Open Table Network [OTN] has secured the support of a Charity Champion funder for this year’s Big Give Christmas Challenge, the UK’s biggest match-funding campaign!
That means every donation you make during the campaign will be doubled, helping us reach even more LGBTQIA+ communities.
The Together Fund will match up to £2,500 in donations during the campaign, helping us reach our ambitious £10,000 target.
💷 How it works:
Matched donations: Every £1 you give during the Christmas Challenge campaign week will be doubled thanks to the Together Fund and pledges from our supporters.
Secure match funding: We have £5,000 in match funding available. If we reach our donation goal, we’ll unlock the full £5,000 extra - doubling the impact of your support.
✅ How you can help:
Every £1 donated to OTN during our Christmas Challenge campaign will unlock an additional £1 from our £5,000 match pot, doubling the impact of your support.
Save the dates: Midday 2nd to midday 9th December 2025.
Mark your calendars now or, even better, click our ‘Save The Date’ button below, and we'll send you the link as soon as the donation window opens.

With your help and our match funding, this Christmas your support goes twice as far. Thank you!
❤️ Why your support matters:
Your support will help us continue to create welcoming spaces for LGBTQIA+ people of faith across England and Wales. Let’s ensure that no one is left out in the cold this Christmas.
Open Table communities offer a safe, affirming space for LGBTQIA+ people, especially during the festive season - a time that can be particularly difficult for those who feel isolated from less welcoming churches or challenging family dynamics.
Being part of an Open Table community means having a place to belong and share the joy of Christmas in an environment that truly celebrates you.
We want to make sure even more people have access to that warm, inclusive welcome all year round, by strengthening and expanding our network of commutnities across the UK.
