Giving Tuesday

An international day of Giving

Gingerbread is excited to be taking part in Giving Tuesday! Throughout Tuesday 1st December, we’ll be sharing inspirational stories, quotes and videos, along with letting you know how you can get involved with Gingerbread this Christmas.

This year, the theme of Giving Tuesday is Give Back. It’s a chance for us to come together to give back to the charities who’ve supported us throughout the Covid-19 crisis. Gingerbread has been on the frontline, providing single parents with expert advice and information, peer support services and research, policy and campaigning work to help single parents overcome the challenges they’re facing in 2020. 

This Giving Tuesday, we’re launching our Big Give campaign. From 1st to 8th December, all donations to Gingerbread made through the Big Give platform are worth double.

Sign up below to be reminded when The Big Give kicks off – for one week from midday on Tuesday 1st December, your donation will be worth twice as much to single parents across the country.

One donation, twice the impact. 

On Giving Tuesday, we are aiming to raise £2,000. This £2,000 could give access to expert, up-to-the-minute advice to 40 single parents calling our helpline.

What is Giving Tuesday? 

Giving Tuesday is an international Day of Giving. Starting in 2012 in the US, it began in the UK in 2014. Using the power of collaboration and social media, it’s a day to celebrate the work of charities and community. 

In 2019, £14.2 million was donated on Giving Tuesday –equivalent to almost £10,000 a minute!
