2025 was our first year taking part in the BigGive Christmas Challenge, and we were delighted and encouraged by the community and support of the BigGive donors, and the generous atmosphere. Having met our first target after one day, we set our sights on raising even more vital funds for our ensemble.

After only a couple of days, we met our original target of £3,000, which allowed us to unlock extra match funding. Having unlocked an additional £2,000 of match funding, we surpassed our second target, raising a total of over £10,000 through this BigGive Christmas Challenge, thanks to our supporters’ generosity and the match funding.

BigGive run match-funded campaigns to help charities make an even bigger difference. For IT&T, the match-funded donations will go double-the-distance to bringing innovative baroque and classical performances and educational opportunities to the city of Oxford and beyond, and every penny donated will go towards IT&T’s work.

If you donated, sincere thanks from us. Every donation counts, and we’re so grateful to every BigGive donor: thank you.
