Back with new tasks

Let me start with some very good news following the Weekly Worker’s three-week summer break. Thanks to some excellent donations at the end of last month, we shot past the £2,750 target for July by £680! Well done, everybody - just what we needed to help contain our ever-growing expenses.

But now we need to follow that up with similar success in August and I can tell you that, with two thirds of the month gone, we now have £1,808 in this month’s kitty - and I’m confident we can reach that £2,750 target once again!

As you might expect, there’ve been quite a lot of contributions received over the last three weeks. First of all, no fewer than four comrades made brilliant three-figure donations - thank you, comrades AC, TB, SK and PM. Other contributions via bank transfer/standing order came from PB (£80), MM (£75), LC (£50), TR (£40), BO (£35), MM (£31), CG, DV and NH (£30 each), RG, NR, TW and GB (£25), LM and OG (£24), and DL, MT and DR (£20 each).

On top of that, there were a good few smaller - but still highly valued - SOs or transfers: thanks also to CP (£16), BC and AN (£15), RM (£13), RP, IS and RD (£12 each), MM (£11), DI, CH, SM, PM, CC and JL (all £10).

But that’s not all. Other comrades clicked on that PayPal button on our website - most notably PM and KS (£50), while ST (£20), JV (£7), JN, SO, AR, RD and GP (a fiver each) all helped to take our running total for August up to £1,808.

So can we do a repeat performance this month? Well, as I write, there are still 11 days to go to raise the £950 we still need. Will you play your part in helping us to ensure that the Weekly Worker can play its vital role - now, of course, in the fight to organisationally build, and programmatically equip, the Jeremy Corbyn Party, Your Party or whatever it’s eventually called?
