The Big Give Christmas Challenge!
2-9 December 2025
We are taking part in the 2025 Big Give Christmas Challenge! It’s all about raising funds to support Heart n Soul artists to spread joy and make new art and music. And the good news is…
All donations will be DOUBLED!
Between 2 - 9 December, every donation to our campaign on biggive.org will be doubled. Yes, DOUBLED. So if you give £20, we get £40. If you give £50, we get £100 and so on!
Our fundraising target is £4500 (which will be doubled to £9000!), and we need your help to make the magic happen!
The money is for art and music sessions for 40 Heart n Soul artists. This will give them space and support to explore their ideas and grow their careers. More albums, more exhibitions, more gigs, more joy.
Thanks to the Big Give, whatever you donate - no matter the size - will make double the difference.

I could not believe a person like me could do all this. They told me I was not fit for work. Look what I have done.”
A note from one of our co-founders
Hello!
Next year is our 40th anniversary. I can’t quite believe it’s so long since Pino and I founded Heart n Soul. It’s been 40 years of music, art and believing in the power and talents of people with learning disabilities.
In fact, just this year we’ve been:
Singing our hearts out in choir (catch us at tube stations in December!)
Celebrating our Loud and Proud Summer of Music with amazing new EPs, albums and mixtapes
Making the Wellcome Library more accessible (more soon!)
And… taking over Trafalgar Square as part of Jeremy Deller’s Triumph of Art! (scroll for the video)
Now we need your help, so that next year our Heart n Soul artists can continue to develop and share their talents with the world.
Thank you so much for your support. We couldn’t do this without you.
