Held on Friday 11th December, Greenham Trust’s Double Matched Day, hosted on The Good Exchange platform, saw every pound up to £5,000 donated to 10 local charities double match funded by Greenham Trust. On the day, each £1 given by the public became £3 meaning that each charity raising £5,000 from donations would receive an amazing £15,000!
With 669 total donations received on the day, 8 of the 10 finalists (Berkshire Maestros, Bradfield Village Hall, FairClose centre Age Concern, Pamber Heath Memorial Hall, Sebastian’s Action Trust, Swings & Smiles, Time to Talk West Berkshire, Young people & Children First) surpassed their £5,000 public donations target, receiving the £10,000 boost from Greenham Trust. Greenham Control Tower came tantalisingly close needing only a further £160 and Recovery in Mind significantly exceeded the amount they had expected to raise on the day.
The donations reached an incredible £155,374.03, broken down as follows:
- Total amount donated – £56,537.29
- Match funding from Greenham Trust £93,527.32
- Gift Aid on donations £5,309.42
- Total awarded £155,374.03
