Exactly!

Robbie Rix knows exactly how you can help

Congratulations to all those who contributed to our January fighting fund. We made our £1,500 monthly target on the very last day and, what is more, we raised exactly £1,500. That’s the first time that has happened!

The final hours saw a PayPal donation for £15 from TT, two £10 standing orders from AR and RL, and, last but not least, a donation of £54 from PM - £54 being the value of the office supplies he provided for us without charge. It was actually £54.40 - which means that we exceeded our January target by 40p!

When it comes to February’s fighting fund, the beginning of the month has seen the usual rash of standing orders - 16 of them totalling £250 - excuse me for not listing them all, but all those generous supporters know who they are! Added to which was a £10 PayPal donation from comrade CL, who was one of 11,479 online readers last week. Finally we received two cheques - a £25 donation from KR and £10 from PO added to her Weekly Worker subscription.

So we start February with £295 in the kitty. Which leaves me optimistic about emulating our January achievement. But, this time, please let’s try and make it with a few days - and a few pounds - to spare!
