An extraordinary opportunity

24 April 2026  |  Jess Fitch  |  Local transport

For one week only, every donation made to Campaign for Better Transport via our Big Give campaign page will be doubled, turning generosity into even greater impact for better, greener, fairer transport.

This really is an extraordinary opportunity to support sustainable transport and make a huge difference. Every donation will be doubled, helping to make transport better, protect the environment, connect communities and improve lives.

Your £10 donation will be worth £20… your £30 donation will be worth £60… you get the idea!

Make a donation and it will be doubled!

Earth Raise

This is possible thanks to Earth Raise, a week-long match funding campaign run by Big Give, aimed at boosting environmental causes.

To protect the environment, we urgently need to improve public transport, walking, wheeling, cycling and shared transport.

  • Transport is still responsible for more carbon emissions than any other source
  • Cars and vans are the biggest source of toxic nitrogen oxides in our air
  • Transport affects our local environment, from noise levels to whether children can get out and play

But good, affordable public transport and safe routes for walking and cycling won’t just improve our environment. They will enable everyone to get around more easily, to access opportunities and lead happier lives. They will connect communities and boost local economies.

Campaign for Better Transport has been working for more than 50 years to make transport better, greener and fairer. By making a donation – and having it doubled – you can help us to do much more.

Along with the rest of the Campaign for Better Transport team, I am excited about the difference this could make…

I love travelling by bus and train, on my bike and on foot. But living in a village where the train station was closed in the 1950s and buses are few and far between, I’m passionate about making transport better.

Whatever your reason for caring about sustainable transport, here’s a chance to support it in a really special way. Please make a donation via our Big Give campaign page before the opportunity ends at midday on 29 April.

Thank you so much.

Get on board

I care about transport. I don’t want a future of traffic jams and dirty air. I want the Government to back public transport for a greener, fairer transport future. Please send me campaign actions and updates by email.
