I know that 2020 has been a terrible year for everyone which is why I thought long and hard before deciding to run the appeal this year.

But charities have suffered as much (if not more) as other sectors and need help. So here goes with a fundraiser which members have kindly made a success since 2013.

By public demand, we changed the format last year and are leaving it the same this year and so this is how it is going to work.

You simply just have to choose a date between 1st and 25th of December.

Behind each door on the calendar is a monetary amount – 10 x £ 7’s, 10 x £12’s, 4 x £ 17’s and 1 x £ 25.

By choosing a number(s) you agree to donate the amount behind the door. You can of course donate more .

I will open a door each day starting on the first to reveal the amount behind the door.

Perhaps you have saved a penny or two from cancelled holidays. Perhaps you have benefited from advice freely given and/or perhaps you have just enjoyed reading the Forum. If so, please consider taking part.  It is for what I believe to a very good cause - helping kids who have very little.

PS If it goes as well as previous years we may do a second calendar or the '12 days of Christmas fundraiser.[/quote]

There is, of course, absolutely no obligation to take part.

I’ll start off with number 12 please.
It would be nice to see some new names donating to the charity in exchange for all the free advice requested on the forum
