The ‘rules’ of the donations were:

• We will donate a total of £25,000
• To help maintain the personal connection we would like you to nominate causes or charities that are special or mean something to you.
• We are predominantly a cancer focussed charity meaning the majority of the larger donations will be closely related to our goals. However, we are also keen to support as many other causes as we can through smaller donations.
• Every nominated charity will receive a minimum of £50 donation.
• Deadline for nominations is 9pm Sunday 12th December.

To the right – I have listed the charities that we are going to be donating to. It is heart warming to see and read the work that people are doing to support their chosen cause. Sadly many are created as a result of a difficult event. Positively though, what is being achieved by these charities is truly incredible.

We have never made a ‘giveaway donation’ of this nature and didn’t know what to expect. We wanted to  support as many different worthy causes as possible, whilst at the same time making sure we remained true to our purpose.

As statement above explains, the amount each charity received would depend on the nature of the charity. As a result we decided to split the donations into 3 categories. Whilst there is variation in the amounts it feels appropriate not to detail the exact amount.

Perhaps most importantly the message is – if you nominated a charity they will have received a donation.
