We're nearly ready! Tomorrow at midday we'll launch our Big Give #ChristmasChallenge, when we're hoping to raise £7500 in a week to help keep our families programme free in 2026. See your donation doubled thanks to the Big Give Champions - and help inspire the next generation!

We're getting ready for the #ChristmasChallenge - but how are donations doubled?

It's all down to match funding. When you donate through a Big Give campaign, the Big Give asks funders (philanthropists, foundations or corporates) to match that donation. So £50 from you becomes £100 for a good cause.

🪩 Party in the Piazza Community Festival
🪩 Free family activities as part of Open House London

Today is #NationalIllustrationDay2025 and we're sharing two illustrations in our collection by the same person — Robert Cruikshank.

Robert Cruikshank was part of a family of illustrators, alongside his father Robert and his brother George, though he was probably the least famous of the lot.
