Global Giving Donation Challenge – Final Few Days
We’re now entering the final few days of the Global Giving UK Gateway Challenge, in which we need to raise £2000 from at least 50 donors by 2nd May. If we succeed, we will be given a permanent position on the Global Giving UK website, allowing us to continue raising money through the site and hugely benefiting our programmes. So far we have done really well, raising £1507 from 27 donations at this point. However, we still have a little way to go, especially in the number of individual donations. Even if you can only spare £5, this money will make a huge difference to our work, and will really help us to reach this target.
For more information on what the money will go towards or to donate, click here.
Thank you.
