We are so sorry for the frustrations that many of you have experienced trying to participate in the Big Give. Scene & Heard is completely dependent on donations from our volunteers, supporters and their colleagues and friends. We thought that the Big Give Christmas Challenge would be an opportunity to make your generosity go further, but it has caused a lot of frustration with our volunteers, supporters and the office.
The Big Give exhausted its allocated matching funds for the day and stopped doubling donations much earlier than expected on both Tuesday and Wednesday; on Wednesday they stopped doubling by 10:15am.
If you are one of our prospective donors who we know are now determined to get their donation doubled, and want to attempt a 10:00am donation promptly on Thursday or Friday morning, please click here to donate.
If that's just asking too much, we will be able to access up to £8,000 of matching funds already promised from our own sponsors through the Big Give website after donations close this Friday 9 December until Thursday 22nd December, via http://tinyurl.com/SandHBigGive .
Thank you again for all you do for Scene & Heard and we apologise again for the frustration and confusion that The Big Give has caused.
Scene & Heard is participating in The Big Give Christmas Challenge – an opportunity for us to double on-line donations during the first week of December. Our goal is to raise £20,000 – more than enough to fund next autumn’s Playmaking One course. This blog should answer any questions you may have, and keep you up to date on the latest news in the run-up to December 5th 2011.
