The Big Give
3rd 1- 10 December  
What is The Big Give? 
You may have heard about 'the Big Give' and 'Giving Tuesday' ; The Big Give brings charities, philanthropists and the public together to  strengthen their impact. Starting with Giving Tuesday - the international day of giving on December 3rd - and ending on December 10th, it offers supporters of participating charities the opportunity to have their donation doubled - so the money raised can go twice as far toward supporting good causes. 
Where your money goes 
One in four adults in the Armed Forces Community recently reported often feeling lonely or socially isolated-  with bereavement reported as the greatest cause of loneliness. Disability, growing older and leaving the Armed forces can exacerbate these feelings. Those living in rural areas require more opportunities to get together, meet others and share experiences, especially as many are not able to attend national events due to mobility or health issues.
With your donation, Blesma will run monthly social activities across the North East, North West and Midlands to enable limbless veterans and widows to come together and build friendships in their local communities. We firmly believe that getting out and taking part in social activities is key to recovery, and that Members interacting with Members is what makes Blesma so special.

Blesma aims to raise £5,000 over the course of the Big Give to match the £5,000 already pledged. Please click here to donate between midday 3rd December and midday 10th of December and help limbless and injured veterans.
