This Christmas, your donation to Mountbatten Isle of Wight — the Island’s only provider of hospice care — can go twice as far.

From 12 noon on 2 December until 12 noon on 9 December 2025, every donation made to Mountbatten Isle of Wight through the Big Give Christmas Challenge will be matched pound for pound, up to £35,000, doubling your impact for local families in need.

Mountbatten’s patron, Alan Titchmarsh, said: “For one week only, thanks to the Big Give and Mountbatten Isle of Wight’s generous match funders, your gift will be doubled until our £35,000 target is reached. Mark your calendars and get ready to give to this important local charity!”

For some, this Christmas will be their last. With your donation — doubled at no extra cost to you — more people can spend their final Christmas with loved ones, supported by Mountbatten’s 24/7 compassionate, expert care.

To double your donation, visit mountbatten.org.uk/2025biggive between 2 and 9 December. Share the campaign with friends and family — anyone can donate and have their gift doubled.
