Christmas 2020 Donations (Closing date for donations 13.12.20)

[Guest]

I missed this, where is the money going and is it too late to add?

[Carvalho Diablo]

Shamefully I've spent the past few days chasing crisps, booze and pornography for my own basser self rather than give a little back to help those who are in far greater than me.

 

It's nice, and it's important to be a little part of something more.

Yes but where is he now?

He survived scurrilous acts of Catalan brigandry to come home intact.  I don't know whether RR still has him, or whether he found someone to take him to Madrid.

Missed this too. I think I’ve sent Champ PayPal before so will do now. 
 

Well done all.

I set a deadline of the weekend but I’m not going to turn a latecomer down. 
It’s a bit arse end first...doing a collection before having chosen the cause but it’s becoming a bit of a tradition to run a collection to donate to a charity/charities working with people over the Christmas period. We previously donated to The Whitechapel Centre, who work with homeless people in Liverpool.

 

This year I think there’s a consensus to split the pot 3 ways, to give to Fans Supporting Foodbanks, a homeless charity (The Whitechapel Centre again?) and another yet to be decided.

 

In writing this it got me thinking whether there might be support for donating to a local mental health charity as Christmas and the New Year can be difficult for so many people with mental health issues.

 

Oh and if you’d like to get on board message me and I can provide account details

Can you pm me account details and I'll contribute.

[Champ]

Right, time’s running short to get money out for Christmas Aid so I’m going to divide the collection 3 ways and get a third off to Fans Supporting Foodbanks just now and consider the remaining two thirds after that. 
Or do I just send it all to them?

Or something in Ged’s memory?

Foodbanks and children are my picks.

Mental health is a good shout too.

Seconded. Or thirded. Or ninthed. 

[VladimirIlyich]

I'd agree with those choices too.

[ZonkoVille77]

Plus one for mental health charity.

Ahaaaa, the very man himself...

 

...can you/anyone else suggest a local mental health and a local children and/or young peoples charity we could provide a bit of extra support to with our collection?

[Tj hooker]

Great choices I think

While I wait for @Anubis, could you recommend any local groups that might fit the bill?

@AngryofTuebrook recommended one when we donated the money it would have cost us to pay for the BT/Sky games which were PPV.

Was that not Fans Supporting Foodbanks?

[Dougie Do'ins]

@Champ If the third charity hasn't been decided yet, I'd like to suggest Robslappa'a charity Love Jasmine. If you were around at the time, I'm sure I don't need to remind you of how Robslappa came to set this charity up.

 

If you weren't around.

It may seem a little bit selfish but I'd prefer all the money went to charities in this city. After all, it's the place that's brought us all together.

I'm really skint and will be until payday but will donate to this charity when I have some money. The story really touched me, great shout.

Cheers Rem.

 

It wasn't a plug for Robs charity but just an idea of where we could donate some of the collected funds to.

That’s a great idea.
