Over the line?

Robbie Rix scents victory for this month's Fighting Fund

Thanks to the money raised by a special World Cup sweepstake organised by Weekly Worker supporters, we are within touching distance of our fighting fund target for June. As I reported last week, £320 was received (or promised!) as a result, and I’m pleased to say that it’s now all come in.

But fundraising also depends on the routine efforts of regular supporters, who this week contributed £397 towards our £1,500 target. Pride of place goes to comrade RG for his fantastic £75 cheque, followed by DB, who donated £40 by PayPal. He and LT, who donated £10, accounted for two of the 9,618 hits our website recorded last week.

Another £10 cheque came our way from LC, while comrade PB handed over £20 at last weekend’s London Communist Forum. Finally £242 was received in standing orders - special mention here goes to SK and RC. So now our June total stands at £1,314.

But there are only five days to go to raise the extra £186 we need and, to be honest, after that sweepstake boost I’d be more than disappointed if we didn’t smash right through that £1,500 barrier this month. So please help if you can. Send in a cheque or postal order straightaway, click on our PayPal button or, better still, make a transfer via your online bank account to 00744310 (sort code: 30-99-64).

Make sure we get over the line!
