We’ve reached a crucial moment: there are now only 24 hours left in the Big Give Christmas Challenge to raise £10,000 for Christian residential ministry, and the opportunity to have your donation matched pound for pound is about to close.
The response so far has been hugely encouraging - thank you to everyone who has already taken part. This will make such a big difference to the impact CRNet can have, which will also impact your ministry. Together, we're stronger.
In these last hours, please consider passing this message on to others in your staff team and anyone who values the impact that Christian residentials have had on their lives, their families, or their faith. A quick forward could unlock matched funds that will disappear after tomorrow.
We're almost two thirds of the way there, and every donation given from now onwards will release the full amount of match funding which wouldn't otherwise be available to us.
If you haven’t yet had the chance to join in, this is the moment when it truly counts.
Many of you faithfully invest in your own centres and ministries - and we’re deeply grateful. But a gift to CRNet today strengthens the whole national network, enabling Christian residential ministry to thrive in every region of the UK.
Even a modest gift makes a measurable difference when it’s doubled.
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.
You can give HERE until midday tomorrow (Tuesday 9th December)
Thank you for all you contribute and for helping to strengthen the Christian residential sector and for investing in life-changing experiences that shape faith and future generations. Your support truly makes a real difference, bringing us closer to unlocking the full £10,000. Please feel free to share this message with anyone who also values the impact of Christian residential ministry and would want to stand with us in this important work.
Every blessing,
