Thanks to our Pledgers who have pledged to match donations made to ME Research UK during this year’s Big Give Christmas Challenge (December 3rd – 10th (midday) 2024), The Big Give Trust has offered Charity Champion matched funding of an additional £14,100.
This does leave a mighty (Christmas) challenge. To unlock the Champion funds of £14,100 ME Research UK needs to exhaust Pledgers’ funds first – in other words £28,200 needs to be donated during the 3rd to 10th December event to unlock both Pledger and Champion funds – it is a big ask.
If we are successful then at least £56,400 would be raised for research and, for example, that could fund (in whole or in part) a 3-year PhD-level research project.
Last week ME Research UK announced details of Professor Barnden’s brain research which was made possible due to the proceeds of last year’s Big Give Christmas Challenge.
