I had donated on the 15th of December. Payment ending in ...5967FM319032D
I didn't know where the money was going to go at that time but knew it wouldn't be wasted.

When I saw the above post on the 19th it brought a tear to my eye but also a smile to my face as I had a cousin in that ward at that moment. It made me feel that not only was I trying to make things slightly easier for my cousin and their family but that others were doing so as well. Also, it confirmed that you can donate to good causes without money going to CEO top ups or credit card use as we've heard about.

Thanks to all involved in SSF and particularly DeVore and Beasty for their selfless generosity.

See ye back here in about 11 months.

Told ye I'd be back!
Donation ending in 19X831752U

Last year, my family benefited from donations made to CCH. This year, I don't mind where the donations end up, I know they will be well deserved and will make a difference to those that need them.

See ye next year.

Heyall... sorry about the delay, I've not been very well and have a keynote speech to give this Friday which is stubbornly refusing to write itself.

Here are the accounts for the last year in rough figures:

Bumbleance 2016 €3,000
Lakers.ie €2,300
aoibheanns Pink Tie €2,188
Blossom kids €2,357
John Of Gods €2,839
Bumbleance 2017 €3,000
National Remedial Hospital (earmarked) €3,000
Remainder in bank €1,540

Total 20,224


Some things to note. 20,224 is bigger than I announced at the end of 2016 because some people keep sticking money in the account even after xmas (bless them).

National Remedial Hospital is "earmarked" because while the money is currently "resting in my account"... they are in the process of spending it.

Bumbleance we typically donate 3k each year towards the entertainments installations in their ambulances. Last year the donation for 2016 happened in 2017 (along with 2017's), hence its listed twice.

I keep a remainder in the bank in case of something over running through the year.


So, thats the totals for the year!
