Christmas Appeal 2025
Thank you to everyone who supported our most ambitious Christmas Appeal yet. We raised an incredible £49,225 with Big Give and will be able to support more of our community to ensure no-one affected by bipolar feels alone over the festive season.
Give the gift of community
We did it! Thanks to your incredible support, we hit our Christmas appeal target!
Bipolar UK successfully ran its Christmas Appeal 2025, raising £49,225 thanks to the Big Give, which doubled donations made between midday on 2 December and midday on 9 December.
Your gift will allow us to provide more life-changing, sometimes lifesaving, support services, including:
- our 24/7 Online Community that’s open 365 days a year
- a Peer Support Line
- a network of support groups
- an extra online peer support group in the run up to Christmas
- a seasonal self-care webinar - watch the recording
We smashed our £48,000 target and will now be able to support thousands of people throughout the festive period and beyond.
Our Big Give appeal is now closed, but you can still donate to our charity and give the gift of community.
Please only donate if you are well and able to. You can also support the campaign by sharing the link to the Big Give appeal and telling people about our peer support services.
Thank you to a generous supporter of Bipolar UK and the Julia Rausing Trust for match funding this appeal.
And an enormous thank you to you for your continued support. We would not be able to do what we do without you.
Your gift will empower people
People living with bipolar who get practical and emotional support from our services across the festive period will feel less alone and be better equipped to manage their condition.
Family and friends will also be empowered with understanding and knowledge about how to support their loved ones during what can often be a difficult time of year.
