Supporting us this Christmas

The end of the year and Christmas is a time that we know many people like to think about supporting their favourite charities so we thought we would share with you details of a few different ways that you can support us over the course of the festive season, some without costing you a penny!

Join us at our Christmas Carol Service

Our Carol Service is a wonderful way to kick off your festive season whilst raising money for our work. With performances this year from the London International Gospel Choir and BBC Young Musician of the Year finalist Matilda Lloyd, as well as the chance to sing your favourite carols, the evening is sure to leave you feeling in the Christmas spirit. Tickets are £20, which includes a glass of wine and mince pie after the service.

Donation matching – one donation, double the impact

This Christmas, your donation to African Promise could have double the impact as we again participate in the BigGive Christmas Challenge. Starting at noon on #GivingTuesday 28th November, donations to African Promise are being matched £-for-£ when made via the BigGive donation platform. There has not been a better time to donate to African Promise this year so if you have been considering supporting our work, the week of the BigGive Christmas Challenge is the time to do so! Donations will be doubled until noon on the 5th December or until our matching funds are exhausted but please note that only donations made via our project page on the BigGive website will be eligible for matching. Please follow the link below for further info and to sign up for a reminder email.
