I've set up a website that takes donations for NSPCC. This is being done in honor of her birthday so I'm hoping we can reach a target goal of 500
pounds (sorry computer won't let me use the symbol) by then. The website will accept donations into November though. So please stop by and give a gift if
you can. Thanks.

What does JustGiving do with the 5% fee? Does it publish its accounts?
.
What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from. |

Thanks for setting that up Laura. For anyone wondering this is in response to this
http://thehomegroundandkatebushnewsandinfoforum.yuku.com/topic/952 It's there for people if they wish to donate, if not that's cool too. I'll get mine done next pay day!!

I think this is a great idea. However, if you want to avoid that 5% charge levied by JustGiving, whatever it is for, or you want to remain completely anonymous
you can donate directly to the NSPCC.

The direct donation to NSPCC does not allow a fundraising campaign in someone's honor, although you can try to make an individual donation in memoriam
(which I didn't think appropriate). Justgiving does allow anonymous donations, I simply chose not to do that. Please don't feel pressured to make a
donation in a particular manner, do what feels comfortable to you.

A thoughtful idea! I'll try to make a small donation in the coming weeks.

I'll donate, but in July. If somebody can bump this thread then, I'd appreciate it (don't pin it though, because really, who looks at pinned
threads?)

to encourage giving, and that isn't available at the NSPCC site, for example.

do you mean Kate is in need of 500 £ for her Birthday ?
 , well I
thought I could still afford to send, as usual, a Birthday Card thru the KBC address, as someone wrote just earlier, it was more or less still working with
Lisa (but perhaps I may be wrong !)... but not sure... I shall, b'cause we have a little small ironman in power, that is stealing our money (bling
bling)... so perhaps, if I was not a little bit shy....bla bla.... help me ! SOS ! 
Je viens comme un chat par la nuit
si noire, Tu attends et je tombe dans tes ailes blanches,
la-la-la et je vole, et je coule, comme une
plume.
Si les grands yeux de mon dieu, ne me regardaient pas, je te volerais. Ne t'enfuis pas, tu as des ailes, le pouvoir de me quitter, tu es tombé du ciel comme un ange la-la-la et j'ai peur que le ciel te reprenne. Je viens comme un chat, par la nuit si noire, je t'en prie, je t'en prie, je t'en prie, je t'en prie, je t'en prie, je t'en prie, ne t'enfuis pas. |

Thanks for setting this up - a great idea! I will definitely make a point of contributing, though too bad I'm not a UK taxpayer (I enjoy paying
Canada's higher income rates!) because it would have meant that nice 30% matching of my donation.
Still, it seems like a excellent cause, and also a really good way to pay tribute to Kate. Zeb

How very timely. The NSPCC are using her ads again. It's just been on twice.

Thanks for bumping this up Ian. Please make a donation, any amount no matter how small is appreciated. If everyone who views this donates just a pound or two
we could easily reach the 500 goal. Thanks!

I'm not Ian. I'm Stev0. Or Steve, his Steveness, El Steverino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

But thank you for bumping this up. |

No problem. I was just looking for an excuse to paraphrase The Big Lebowski.
