We are thrilled to announce that we have been selected again to take part in this year’s Small Charity Week Match Funding Campaign!

This joint initiative from the Big Give, Global’s Make Some Noise and the NCVO (National Council for Voluntary Organisations) means that any donations we received towards our Befriending Project between 22nd and 29th June 2026 will be DOUBLED by the Big Give’s generous donors, which for Sight Support Derbyshire this year, is the People’s Postcode Lottery.

The donation page will open at midday on Monday 22nd June 2026 and close at 5pm on Monday 29th June. Any donations made via this link during that time, up to a total of £1,250, will be doubled – making double the difference to local older people living with a visual impairment. All funds raised will be used to help bring light in the darkness through our befriending project. (Any funds raised over £1,250 will not be doubled, but will still support this project).

We really hope that local individuals, businesses and community groups will get behind this campaign and help us make the most of this wonderful opportunity to double the value of donations during Small Charity Week (22nd-29th June).

The donation page, which will open at midday on Monday 22nd June 2026 can be found here: https://bit.ly/4thmTjf
