The difference you make will be doubled!

Dear Affiliate,

2015 has been an eventful year for us what with our usual appeals and how we’ve been able to respond to a number of emergency appeals. So thank you for your support and for helping us make a difference to the lives of others.

Christmas is our current focus and like last year, we’re excited to have UK Aid match funding. For every pound given to our Christmas Appeal, the UK Government will match it with another pound between 06/11/15 and 05/02/16.

Every 60 seconds, a child dies of malaria and in Nigeria alone around 250,000 children die of this entirely preventable disease, every year. This year, our Christmas appeal focuses on the moving stories of families, young children, mothers and babies affected by malaria in Nigeria, and the life-saving work we’re doing there to provide mosquito nets and train community health volunteers.

With your help we can make every £1=£2, so we’ve decided to award double commission on single donations made between the 19th November and 19th December 2015. So instead of 10% you will earn 20% commission on any successful single donation and £20 commission on all tracked direct debit donations.

How can you promote Christian Aid?
We’ve put together some promotional materials for you to use including:

We’ll be in touch again to give you further updates including our Christmas Appeal video, an interactive day in the life of health volunteer Ngozi and what we will be doing this year for #GivingTuesday (1st December). If you have any opportunities or would like to discuss any of the above, email me directly at jwilson@christian-aid.org.  Thanks in advance for helping us to fight malaria in Nigeria this Christmas.
