Every little

We have a shortfall, says Robbie Rix

With just two days to go, we are more than £400 short of our fighting fund target for January. This follows the last two months of 2014, when we failed to make the £1,750 we need. So far, we have £1,338, so who will help out by getting us the extra £412 by Sunday February 1? Please use PayPal or make a transfer via your online bank account to ensure we meet the deadline.

Those who did help us out this week were, first of all, six standing order payers: DS (£35), RC (£12), JM (£10), JT (£75), PM (£30) and CC (£5). Then both KT (20) and RS (£25) clicked on our PayPal button, while, finally, JH sent us another of his generous donations - this time for £50.

Thanks to all of the above, we raised an extra £262 over the last seven days, but, once again, this is lagging behind the going rate. That’s why we are sending out with this week’s Weekly Worker an appeal to all readers of the print issue to take out a standing order or, if they already have one, to increase it.

Every little helps. After all, the extra £250 target is not a huge sum in the greater order of things - it only takes a couple of dozen comrades to donate £10 a month and we’re there!

Of course, you can still help out if you’re an online reader - there were 4,139 of them last week, if our new stats site is to be believed. You can print out a standing order form from the Weekly Worker website or set up a regular payment via PayPal. And we hope you do!
