Help needed!

After lots of success in recent months, I’m afraid to say that the first Weekly Worker fighting fund of 2025 is not looking too good. After an unusually low batch of weekly donations, the running total for January stands at just £974 towards our monthly target of £2,250 with half the month already gone.

But, of course, we are, as always, very grateful to those who contributed this week - thank you, comrades PB (£70), OG (£24), SA (£12), PM and CC (£10 each), all of whom donated via standing order or bank transfer. Then we had four donations via PayPal from RL and PM (£50 each), MZ (£10) and JV (£7). On top of that comrade Hassan handed his usual banknote (this time for a fiver) to one of our team, while comrade TT stated that the £55 worth of expenses he paid this week in getting some of our IT facilities up and running again should also be taken as a donation. Thanks very much, comrade!

But now we want to get back into our stride over the next seven days with the receipt of rather more than the £303 that came our way this week. True, the third week of the month is usually the time when a few substantial donations come our way, but I’ve learned not to count on anything!

That’s why I’m appealing here and now to all our readers and supporters to help us out if you can. Please make a contribution via bank transfer, PayPal or, yes, by sending us a cheque - if you do that quickly, we’ll be sure to receive it before the end of the month!
