We’re so excited that once again, we’ve been invited to take part in the Big Give’s Earth Raise campaign - and we want it to be our biggest fundraiser yet.
Every penny that we raise in public donations between midday Wednesday 22nd April and midday Wednesday 29th April will be doubled by generous funders!* If you give £5, we’ll get £10, £25 will give us £50, £50 will give us £100 - you get the idea.
Everything that's raised this week will help us get closer to our vision of a zero carbon Britain, built by and for the people of the UK.
This is a huge opportunity to raise funds for positive action on the climate crisis. Are you with us?
Last time round we raised an astonishing £60,000 for climate action. This time, we want to go even bigger. Your donation could help us:
✅ Challenge polluting projects head-on – from new roads to airport expansions, we’re pushing back on climate-wrecking schemes and making space for greener, fairer alternatives.
✅ Turn bold ideas into policy change – we don’t just talk about what’s possible, we build it. Your support helps us shape climate policies that work for everyone – not just the wealthy few.
✅ Bring climate action to your doorstep – from Fixing Factories to slow travel, your donation helps us run community workshops and hands-on projects that make a zero-carbon future real, relatable and rooted in everyday life.
And that’s just a taste of what we could achieve.
With your help, we can use this Big Give Challenge to set us up for bigger wins throughout 2026 and beyond.
Three ways to make the most of the Big Give.
Donate
Make sure to donate between midday Wednesday 22nd April and midday Wednesday 29th April to have your gift doubled.
2. Organise a fundraiser
The more you can donate between midday Wednesday 22nd April and midday Wednesday 29th April, the more the match funders will donate too. So why not increase your donation by asking your friends, family and colleagues to chip in. Bake sales, clothes swaps, quizzes and film nights are just some of the ways you can bring people together and inspire positive action on the climate crisis while raising some extra money during the Big Give week. If you want to have a chat through any of these suggestions, or other ideas you might have, email Hannah at hannah.bland@wearepossible.org - she’ll be happy to help!
3. Spread the word
We’ve made template text and social media links that will make it easy for you, as someone who supports our work, to help us make the most of the Big Give’s Earth Raise this year. If you can, please do take a minute to personalise the message by mentioning what you love most about Possible. This will make your message more personal and persuasive to your friends and family. You can see a few examples below.

“Quick thing! Some funders have agreed to match any donations from the public this week for Possible (the climate action charity I support). This is a huge opportunity to raise money for such an important cause (all donations are essentially doubled!), so I hoped you might be interested. I've just donated - and had my gift doubled! Will you do the same: https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS00000BQpJvYAL

“Hi XXX,
I’m getting in touch because there’s an opportunity to raise funds for climate action that I hoped you’d be interested in. One of the charities I support is Possible - they help people take positive practical action on the climate crisis, and come up with innovative solutions to speed up the transition to a zero carbon UK (my favourite thing about Possible is …. [see suggestions below]).
Anyway, as part of this week’s fundraiser, generous funders at The Big Give have agreed to match any donations Possible receive between 22nd April - 29th April!
So if someone donates a fiver Possible gets a tenner, if someone donates fifty quid, they get a hundred, and if someone donates one hundred, that’s £200 in the pot for Possible’s work in 2025.
I thought you’d want to know about this - we’re all trying to do our bit for the climate, and if you’re in a position to donate to climate action this year, this is the time to do it, as you’ll have double the impact.
I’ve just donated and had my gift doubled! Will you do the same? https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS00000BQpJvYAL
Also, if you are not already on Possible’s mailing list, I’d suggest you sign up to receive their emails. They do loads of great projects that I think you’ll be interested in. Here’s the link: www.wearepossible.org/join (don’t worry, they don’t spam you with loads of emails - it’s usually about one a week, and you can unsubscribe any time if it’s too much).
Thanks,
XXX

Things you might like about Possible that you could mention:
“One of the things I love most about Possible is …
“... the work we’ve been doing to call out the tax loophole for private jets and to get the government to fix it!”
“... the work theye’ve been doing to help home care workers and taxi drivers access electric cars at a cheaper price.”
“… their Fixing Factory project (where people can visit a highstreet shop to get their appliances repaired for free, and/or get trained up in fixing) - I really hope we can roll these out across the country! “
…Sustainable Travel Leave - the scheme that gets employers their team additional days off work for flight-free holidays. …
… the work theye’ve been doing to get urban communities across the UK excited about fewer cars and more trees for their streets.
… how they find innovative ways to get more people talking about climate solutions (from their board game, to climate-science inspired nail art, to full blown climate-themed cabarets). It can be difficult to broach the subject of climate with friends/family, but these projects make it easier - and even enjoyable!
… how Possible speaks up against misinformation! There’s so much talk about climate, and loads of businesses and industries claim to be “green” but it’s difficult for normal people to know what’s true. Possible are quick to react when airlines, the government, or companies are misleading customers, and are proactive in putting the facts out so that we can all make informed decisions.
…Possible’s commitment to anti-oppression in our projects and within our internal processes! We understand that if we’re going to build a cleaner, fairer, UK, we need to involve everyone - and we’re doing the work to break down barriers to the climate movement and engage those communities who are underrepresented.
“Possible is that rare beast which applies a true campaigning spirit to achieving positive climate outcomes. They consistently punch above their weight and are creative, inspiring and innovative”
Together, we can create a cleaner, fairer UK.
If you donate during the Big Give’s Earth Raise week, your money will be doubled and so will your climate impact.
*Match funders have agreed to give a maximum of £30,000. In order to receive this £30,000 we need to raise the same amount by public donations during the Big Give week (22nd-29th April). Any donations made above that threshold will not be matched - but they will still go straight to us, and will help bring us closer to a zero carbon Britain.
