Transaid’s 2025 Christmas Appeal raises almost £39,000

6th January 2026

Transaid launched our 2025 Christmas Appeal: Safer journeys, brighter futures in August 2025, once again inviting the transport and logistics industry and individuals to help create lasting change through safer transport and improved access to healthcare across sub-Saharan Africa.

As we begin the New Year, we are delighted to share that the appeal has raised an incredible £38,948. This generous support will help us continue building safer journeys and brighter futures for communities where safe, reliable transport can be life-changing.

 

A thank you to our corporate supporters

We were proud to offer supporting companies the opportunity to get involved through our bronze, silver and gold supporter publicity packages. These included social media coverage, personalised e-cards and thank-you videos, a digital advent calendar, logo placement in Transaid’s festive adverts in industry media, and recognition on Transaid’s website.

In 2025, 55 companies generously supported our Christmas Appeal, helping to raise vital, unrestricted funds for Transaid’s programmes across sub-Saharan Africa – ensuring resources can be directed where and when they are needed most. Together, we are working towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, helping to:

• Halve road traffic deaths and injuries
• End the epidemic of malaria
• Reduce the maternal mortality rate to fewer than 70 per 100,000 live births

We are also immensely grateful to the 19 industry publications that generously donated advert space to support the appeal, including: Air Cargo News, BIFAlink, Coach & Bus Week, Cold Chain News, Commercial Motor, CILT Focus, Export & Freight, Freight Business Journal, Logistics Magazine, Motor Transport, Passenger Transport, RHA Roadway, Route One, Transport & Logistics Magazine, Transport News, Truck & Driver, Tyre Trade News, UKWA Warehouse, and Warehouse & Logistics News.

Thank you to everyone who supported the Appeal

Individual supporters once again played a vital role in making the appeal a success. This year, supporters could order Transaid-themed festive greetings cards, with all proceeds directly supporting our work.

On Giving Tuesday, we called on friends and supporters of Transaid to don their cheesiest festive jumpers, make a donation, snap a picture and share it with us. We were delighted to see even more individuals and companies taking part in our Christmas Jumper Day in 2025.

Overall, we are pleased to report that £1,648 was raised by individual supporters this year! Thanks to you, we can continue to create safer journeys for brighter futures across sub-Saharan Africa.

We are once again humbled by the generosity shown to Transaid throughout the festive period by companies and individuals from across the transport and logistics industry, and we wish you a very happy New Year.
