Make up leeway

Unfortunately we are still quite a way behind with the Weekly Worker fighting fund for June. The target is, of course, £2,750 per month, but, as things stand, we’ve received just £1,123 - well under halfway there with almost two thirds of the month gone.

True, we are now approaching that part of the month where a few regular three-figure donations come our way, but we really do need more readers to contribute something as soon as they can.

Why not follow the example of comrade JP, who mistakenly paid his annual subscription at the old rate of £60? When we reminded him that we have unfortunately had to increase the annual charge to £96 (up from £5 to £8 a month), he replied that we should use his payment to extend his subscription by just six months (£48) and take the extra £12 he paid as a contribution to the fighting fund. Good stuff, comrade!

Like JP, three other supporters contributed via PayPal - thanks to PM and KS (£50 each) and RD (£5), while rather more helped us out via standing order or bank transfer. These were PB (£80), MM (£75), PO (£60), TR (£40), TW and GB (£25), OG (£24), SA (£12) and JL (£10).

So now we really need to up the ante - there are, as I write, just 12 days left to raise that extra £1,573 we still need. That’s an awful lot of leeway we need to make up, but it’s far from impossible! I know that many of our readers and supporters will now do their best to help us out in what remains of June.

Are you among them? I hope so! If you are, go to the web address below to see how you can do just that. Please help us out however you can!
