Virgin Money Giving vs. Justgiving

The Trust is now registered with Virgin Money Giving, and when you look at the financial sums it is easy to understand why;

For every £10 donated (with Gift Aid) we receive £12.46 from Virgin Money giving compared to approx. £11.94 with Justgiving (and this takes no account of the £10 monthly fee that Justgiving charge and virgin do not)

We will continue to be registered on Justgiving, as it continues to be the market leader but our preferred online donation method is now Virgin.

So if you want to set up a fundraising page or make a donation you can do so here in the knowledge that your support will now go a little further Virgin Money Giving Here

Early diagnosis the key

A great article in today's Metro, http://tinyurl.com/y9wlops, highlighting the problems with diagnosing Cancer in young adults. Well done to the Lymphoma Association http://www.lymphomas.org.uk/ in generating this level of publicity, have a look at there site linked to this campaign http://www.pitfart.com/

With the average GP seeing one case of cancer in a young person every 20 years, and early diagnosis so vital, campaigns like this are so important
