Make a Big Change - With your Small Change
Siobhan and Becky
Giving just 15p a day could change someone's life forever.
Our campaign
Giving just 15p a day could change someone's life forever. We've spent time in Nairobi, Kenya, and seen children who are desperate for a chance in life, an education, but cannot afford it. By giving our spare change we've been able help send 2 of these children to school. We now want YOU to try to make a BIG change with your small change – for causes both home and abroad. Start saving pennies now, and this could amount to a big difference in someone's life.
Our Campaign highlights
- Speaking at a Channel 4 Battlefront event about the campaign
- Meeting Save the Children
- Making a film about the campaign with the Battlefront film-maker
- Putting on our busking tour of Britian – supported by Danny from Supergrass and Strictly Ballroom dancers, Vincent and Flavia
- Interviewed by Alex Zane on XFM
- Getting over 1000 people pledging to make a big change with their small change

I think your campaign is really good, i agree that all children deserve and i will do my best to surpport your campaign!

Hey guys, thank you all so much for your comments, I am really glad you enjoyed the show! At the moment there is nowhere you can directly send your pennies to, but if you want any help with specific charities that do work similar to ours then just ask and you can get your pennies changed into cash at any bank and send it directly to them! We are working on getting something set up for ourselves very soon! If you are interested specifically in commiting to sponsoring a child please drop us an e-mail @ smallchangebigchange@hotmail.co.uk! Thank you so much for your support!! Siobhan

Hey! I just finished watching the channel 4 show, and I was so impressed by you guys. I recently came back from Uganda this summer, and I've been wanting to set up a campaign like yours, and just don't know how. I'm so inspired by both of you, and just wanted to let you know that what you're doing is really amazing.

My 6year old son has watched you on Battlefront today...it's made him think! and is raiding his piggybank and searching the house for pennies at the mo! We'd like to know where we can send the pennies collected (he'd like to get his school involved too).

I love the idea, and completely agree that it's not difficult to make a difference. I spent my summer in India last year and saw the poverty that alot of people are living in, I am now planning a trip to Africa for next summer and aim to do some fundraising. Good luck with the campaign.
