Don't forget that (for many) this is half term week. Some folk may be away or too busy to come on line. :)

Count me in. Only comment... like a lot of other people I am on a very limited income and I was a little embarrassed (know I shouldn't be!!) when on a previous donation post by A4A where names were posted my fiver seemed mean compared with other members donations. However more than willing to give a fiver.

Lorna
never be embarrassed by the amount that you donate. It's the fact that you have that's important and one that you should be proud of!
Thrive
, like many small charities, really does survive on the numerous small amount donations that it receives from folks like ourselves.

Lorna thats why I suggested a fiver.Thats the amount they spend on the secret santa. Seems that most folks can afford a fiver.

I think everyone giving a fiver is fine. 20 x£5 = £100 and there are how many folk on this forum?
If anyone wants to give more they can do it separately.

Betula
you're most welcome and thanks for the thanks!
OllieC
thanks for suggesting doing it this way. :)
I'll contact
Thrive
later today and let them know what we're doing as it's now up and running.
As I would normally give them a donation around this time of year I'll do it through here instead. As well as the £5 I've donated I'll give another 50p, up to a maximum of £10, for every member who donates.
