Scrounging

"That Robbie Rix could teach me a thing or two about scrounging," writes comrade RW from Carlisle, who sends us a very welcome £50 cheque despite being out of work for nearly two years. But, he adds, "At least you work hard for your money and it's put to good use."

Well said, comrade. And the sacrifice is greatly appreciated - even if it is a result of scrounging. His gift provides our July fund with a timely boost. As does another £15 donation from our regular supporter, TR. Standing order payments from comrades EK (£20), DO (£10) and AC (£10) have also helped swell our total.

That takes the total raised so far this month to £236, which seems to put the vital £400 target well within reach. But time is getting short, comrades - only 10 days to go. Please ensure we make it by sending your contribution today.
