Get Ready For The Good Christmas Dinner Appeal 2025  

Next week, our Good Christmas Dinner Appeal goes live! This year, as part of the Big Give’s Christmas challenge, your generosity will go twice as far.  After raising enough last year to provide 180 veggie Christmas dinners across Manchester community centres, we’re aiming even higher – 240 meals – to make Christmas brighter and more inclusive than ever.  

Big Give Good Christmas Dinner Appeal

What is the Good Christmas Dinner Appeal?  

We believe everyone should have the right to a good Christmas dinner that is planet-friendly. Unfortunately, this is not a reality for many people facing food poverty. Often, community centres and food banks lack the provisions to cater for vegetarian and vegan dietary needs. 

With the Good Christmas Dinner Appeal, giving just £15 funds a nutritious plant-based Christmas dinner for someone who might otherwise go without. We believe that nothing brings people together, quite like good food can. We want to build community, togetherness and dignity through this appeal. 

What is The Big Give?  

Thanks to pre-appeal pledges from Iceland Foods, the Reed Foundation, and a benevolent member of the society, every pound you donate will be doubled during The Big Give’s match funded Christmas Challenge, at no extra cost to you.  

Save the Date!  

Our appeal kicks off at midday on Tuesday, 2nd December. Keep an eye on your inbox for our launch email with the official donation link!  

Together, we can bring comfort, kindness, and inclusivity to those who need it most this festive season.  

*Donations open on Tuesday 2nd December
