We’re excited to announce the Big Give Christmas Challenge is now open and you can support the ministry of CRNet through our campaign of 'Changing lives through getting away!' Thanks to match funding, your gift could be doubled at no extra cost to you.
This Christmas we're looking to raise £5,000 which, thanks to the promise of £5,000 in match funding, means every £1 donated between 2nd and 9th December becomes £2, enabling £5,000 to become £10,000. This is a fantastic opportunity to multiply your impact and help strengthen Christian residential ministry across the UK.
You already understand the transformative power of Christian residentials. Now, we need your help to expand CRNet’s reach so more churches, schools, and ministries can experience the spiritual depth, community, and life-change that residentials bring.
Your support will help us:
· Raise the profile of Christian residentials through improved resources – including our website, the VenueFinder platform, and a new promotional video.
· Build deeper connections among residential centres and holiday providers – sharing best practice, equipping emerging leaders, and offering encouragement where it’s needed most.
· Champion a united voice for the value and spiritual impact of residential ministry across the UK Church.
Stronger centres and organisations mean more people – especially young people – encountering Christ, community, and personal growth through residential experiences
Your donation can make a tangible difference:
· £15 could fund an initial support call for a centre facing an employment or HR challenge.
· £40 could provide admin support for bursary applications, enabling children and young people to attend a camp or holiday.
· £100 could enable a regional gathering for Centre Managers to meet for training, encouragement, and support.
· £250 could help create a promotional video to inspire more people to discover the value of Christian residentials.
Give online HERE.
Donations can be given from midday Tuesday 2nd December to midday Tuesday 9th December. You’ll see immediately if your gift has been doubled.
Thank you for helping strengthen the Christian residential sector and for investing in life-changing experiences that shape faith and future generations. Please feel free to forward this email on to anyone you know who also values the impact of Christian residential ministry.
Thank you so much for your support. Your gift will make a real difference
