We are starting 2026 with an incredible reason to celebrate: the Give A Little community has now raised over £80 million for vital causes since our launch in 2019.

A year of record-breaking impact

2025 marked a momentous milestone for our community. Over

11,000 charitable organisations
came together to raise a record-breaking
£31.5m
in contactless donations through the platform - representing a huge
47.9% year-on-year increase
.

To put this momentum into perspective, when we launched in 2019, it took our community three years to reach the first £10m milestone. In 2025 alone, the Give A Little community raised

£31.5m
, which is more than three times that amount in just 12 months. This shift highlights a profound change in the charitable sector: the adoption of cashless fundraising isn't just growing - it's accelerating.

The year ended on a spectacular high, with

December 2025
becoming our community’s most successful month ever, seeing over
£3.8m
donated to support frontline services and festive campaigns.


Innovation as an "equaliser"

2025 wasn’t just a year for big numbers; it was a year for innovation. In January, we launched the

, a scalable and affordable tool that allows charitable organisations to invite an unlimited number of supporters to fundraise on their behalf using their smartphones (iOS and Android).

We initially piloted the app with 20 forward-thinking organisations, with support from Mastercard, including

,
Wales Air Ambulance
,
Look Good Feel Better
,
St Catherine’s Hospice
, and the
Stroke Association
. Today, over
159 charitable organisations
are using the app to turn their supporters and volunteers into on-the-go fundraising champions.

The feedback from our community has been inspiring. Organisations have described the Give A Little Champion App as:

  • "A total game-changer"

  • "An equaliser"
    for smaller causes

  • "Ingenious tech"

  • "Incredibly easy to use"

Looking ahead

By bridging the digital divide and transforming every smartphone into a secure Point of Donation, we are ensuring that no charitable organisation is left behind in a cashless society.

As we cross the £80m mark, we want to say a huge thank you to the 11,000+ organisations that trust us with their cashless fundraising. Your support drives our innovation, and together, we are showing that technology can be a powerful force for good in our communities.
