BIG GIVE CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE 2025

What is the Big Give Christmas Challenge?

The Big Give Christmas Challenge is the UK’s largest online match-funding campaign. For one week only (2 to 9 December 2025), donations made to participating charities are DOUBLED, thanks to a combination of pledges from supporters and contributions from Champion funders.

In 2024, IAM RoadSmart joined the Big Give for the first time. Thanks to your incredible support, we launched our Youth Empowerment Initiative, a programme designed to help young drivers and riders aged 17–26 build safer habits and stronger road awareness.

Here’s what we achieved together:

✅ 60 funded Skills Day places across four venues
✅ 60 funded Advanced Driving and Riding Courses
✅ 213 registrations, with 188 eligible young people (over 50% more demand than available places)
✅ Reached 165 non-members, expanding our community

This was a huge milestone in our mission to make UK roads safer for everyone, and it was only possible because of our community.

The Impact of Big Give 2024

Here’s what young participants had to say:

Sally – Motorcycle Skills Day at Mallory Park
“All the instructors were so helpful and I had an amazing day! I now have a better perception surrounding road safety and riding to your own skill set.”

Steven – Motorcycle Skills Day at Thruxton
“Receiving a funded space was an incredible opportunity…This programme inspired further development beyond basic licence training.”

Feedback Highlights:

Our aim for the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2025
This year, we’re aiming to raise £21,500 in total. This means that during the Big Give Christmas Challenge week (02–09 December 2025), we need to raise £10,750 in donations that will be DOUBLED.

This will fund:
🏍️ One Skills Day for young riders
🚗 One Skills Day for young drivers
