Robbie Rix welcomes this week's rise in standing orders

Both the number of internet readers of the Weekly Worker and the total for March’s fighting fund have increased this week.

We had 15,546 visitors to our website, but only one of them - comrade WD, a very regular donor recently - made a contribution to our fund (£10). We did receive a few cheques, though - thanks to AD (£25), JC (£20) and SB (£10), who writes: “Just want to say that I really enjoy reading the Weekly Worker. Thank you for sending it to me each week.” Well, comrade, it’s the least we can do - especially since you have a subscription! And you are always coming up with a donation into the bargain.

However, the biggest part of this week’s rise comes in the shape of standing order gifts, which amount to no less than £290. Thank you, LR, RP, SK, GD, AP and DO. You helped swell this week’s tally to £355 and take the total for the month to £959.

We have exactly a week to get £291 if we are to reach our £1,250 target.
