Big Give

Last Christmas, Sarah faced a heart-breaking choice between providing meals for her family or buy Lily a gift. Scope's Helpline provided Sarah with support and practical advice, which meant that Sarah and her family could have the special Christmas they deserved.

Donate today and your gift will be doubled at no cost to you. Your donation to Scope's Cost of Christmas Appeal will be matched thanks to the Big Give. Your gift will have twice the impact and will help to reach more families like Sarah’s.

Christmas is broken. But you can help fix it

The cost-of-living crisis has hit disabled people hard and this Christmas, many disabled people and their families are forced to make difficult choices, like:-

• choosing between buying Christmas presents or putting food on the table and buying family essentials.
• turning the heating on to stay warm or charging vital disability equipment like hoists and electric wheelchairs.

How you can help

Everyday Scope’s helpline is inundated with calls from disabled people who feel like they have nowhere to turn. Our highly trained helpline advisers can support people with practical advice about benefits or refer people to other specialist services run by Scope – but we are only able to answer 1 in 2 calls.

It costs nearly £1 a minute to answer a call to the helpline and an average call costs £13.

Will you help Scope be there for everyone who needs us this winter, by donating to The Big Give today?
