Hello.
I asked Eddie this afternoon for me to put this on the forum and he has granted permission for the following post.
I work for a fairly large organisation that puts a lot of effort into awareness and fundraising for Leukemia and lymphoma.In fact it was reported in July 2016 that we had raised just short of £5M through various colleague activities and donations from customers.
At this time of year we switch some of our attention to "Mission Christmas" where customers are asked to donate toys for Children this year.These toys are then distributed to children who may never receive anything at Christmas time. It is reported that in the Andover area 1 in 4 children are classed as children in poverty.
What I have asked Eddie is that I ask for a donation to this fund through me here on the forum and I then pass this money on so that a team of people can go out and buy some toys for this great cause. The best news is that I have been advised that all money collected will be doubled and that will be passed directly into the TZ fundraiser.
I haven't committed myself and the forum for thousands of pounds but have pledged that we could raise £100 between us all.That would mean the fundraiser would also gain £100.
£100 does not sound much but to give you an example this was purchased by a member of staff just today for just £1.50
and this for £3.00
There are five of us working on similar projects across the United Kingdom.There are no prizes or financial rewards for the highest amount donated,All we are trying to do is achieve a minimum of £100 each that would mean £500 going to other chosen charities.With my preference being TZ.
All I ask is a quick PM and a contribution amount of £5. I will keep the thread alive with updates of monies raised and from which member.
Thanks to Eddie for allowing this to happen.£100 will make all the difference for children at this time of year.
Thank you for looking.

Any update on this?
Eddie
Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
I conversed with Tony about this yesterday and apparently still well short of the target £100, if anyone was looking to contribute still.
I have good news.
I have received 2 more contributions within the last hour and we have hit £145.00 !!
Is it too late to chip in? Is £ 5 the max that is allowed?
Well done!
