Why We Fundraise
Each year’s charity is chosen by Fraser, based on current affairs and influences not only in his life, but generally in the UK. The aim of The BIG Christmas Giving Streams are simple: take the love and support the IRL Community has and turn it into something charitable for people who need it. The events have grown from a small idea that previously gave back to the IRL Community, to a recurring project that gives back to all.
How the Fundraising Works
- Livestreams are scheduled in December with fundraising in mind.
- Livestreams feature challenges, special guests, and community-driven goals.
- Donation milestones trigger events – in 2024, a milestone unlocked a Halloween baking stream!!
- Donations can also be linked to rewards, such as drawing on Fraser’s face, eating spicy flavoured jelly beans, and redeeming game codes!
- All donations go directly through Tiltify, an official charity fundraising platform that sends all money directly to the chosen charity.
