Unsure this will be allowed, but here goes. (Mods feel free to delete )

The What:-

Between Canvas prints, rope (or was that last year), 43 inch TVS and tasty Burritos we've all saved a decent bit of money by using the Bargains forum over the past year *

Being the season of goodwill, what about giving an itsy bitsy teenie weenie bit of these savings to a good cause.

The How:-

Well, "The How" is all sorted already. ..

The good hes, shes and zes of Santa Strike Force have setup the following page for fundraising this Christmas (as this is on Boards I'm assuming it's ok to link )

http://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057677311/1

I know this is not a bargain.

I know people will have given to other causes already.

I just thought it's nice to give a little back.

*We've all spent more money than we can afford on here and would have a lot more money to give to charity if we didn't buy rope. ....but feck it. ....

Nb maybe delete this and make the Santa Strike force a sticky (it's not on my mobile site )

Can people post their confirmations in the dedicated thread as well as here because there are often bonus donations made by users there, depending on number of donations or matching amounts donated.

Delete if chat is not allowed.
By any chance this great idea can be connected with a mobile phone payments.
For example, I know a lot of people on prepay phone tariff who accumulated call credits over past ...months (tesco €15 tariff and etc) but they don't know what to do with it and would be more than happy to help if they can donate it.
Thank you

€10 added to the pot. and fair play to you for doing all the admin work. i do think its a real pity when cowboys dent everyones confidance in the charity sector, and the sick & poor pay the price.
