Apparently last week’s fundraising gig was a massive success. Bannermans was hoaching, the walls were dripping with sweat and every single raffle ticket was sold (when has that ever happened?).

Grassroots fundraising, making a difference without subjecting you to washed-comedians with expense accounts bigger than your monthly pay packet. Why not set up a Standing Order to these groups and get the warm fuzzy feeling every month:
