Thank you!

It’s the last morning of this year’s #ChristmasChallenge!

Just 3 hours left to donate and have it doubled. Every gift, big or small, makes double the difference for charities on the front lines - and the people who rely on them every day.

Time is slipping away! Some charities still have match funding remaining, which means your donation can still be doubled, but only while funds last.

Visit bit.ly/CC25-Social and make your donation before 12pm (midday) tomorrow.

We teamed up with Clara Holmes to take this challenge to the streets, and trust us, the festive generosity was flowing!
