    A small request

    The town where I grew up has a very close knit community - normally with a very positive spirit, but I was utterly disgusted to read about an arson attack on the local disabled wheelchair sports club


    They are completely devastated - there is a small gofundme that’s been set up / normally I would not ask these things but this really upset me and so many good people on here - perhaps if £3 or £4 each could be sent it might make a huge difference. If there’s a conflict with the FR please let me know and I’ll take this down.

    The link is here

    **** me! There really are some complete and utter scumbags out there.

    I’m sure there’ll be a good response. Good luck to them!

    Thanks for sharing Rusty. Hope the 15 year old who was caught gets an absolute hiding. What a sad, pointless act.

    What is wrong with kids these days?
    I have just been reading about teenagers locally hunting down ducks and ducklings on the canal.
    Some kids need some harsher discipline.

    I'll throw a few Bob in mate for a good cause.

    Horrible! I wonder what kind of life the 15 year old has? Must be 5hit for him to do stuff like that. Not excusing him but you have to wonder.

    I'll throw a tenner in later.

    Such a waste. I hope they can recover the club.

  12. #12
    Done. Such a shame.

  13. #13
    Really sorry to hear that - I've just donated and hope the target can be achieved

    A great gesture to put this up and a donation in the pot from me.
    Hope the money raised gets this project back up and running.

    That’s amazing Andrzej thank you. It’s at £19862 now. Fantastic to see the help she’s got to save the club. Humbled by everyone helping. Heartfelt thanks to you all

    They've broken £20k and she's just posted a video to say thank you, and raised the goal to £40k. Good luck to them

    OMG - someone has made a £10,000 donation! Now up to £33k. So good. Well done RustyBin5 for bringing greater attention to this.

    ........
    I can't imagine how they could be brought up to do things like that. It says much about their upbringing.
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
