I think that would be a good idea. I was looking at Brunos offer too, that's got to be well worth over £100! That's a great offer.
m^rk Posted March 17, 2008 Author Posted March 17, 2008 Mark! sadly when you think people are behind you they are not, over the last 29 years I have raised quite a few thousand for charities, it may seem people are behind you when they reply to your thread, but does not mean they will donate cash.............. My offer still stands to you, if you want me to provide my services free of charge to put on an event at a venue of your choice, then see if anyone will support from here.... good luck mate It's not that they reply to my thread and don't Donate Cash Bruno I understand that not everyone will donate that is Fine i don't tell people they have too it is up to the Individuals themselves whether they donate or not. But what i can't stand is people who have Actually took time out to meet me & get in contact with me about the Football Tournament quite a few Lads Promised to help but they have never fulfilled that promise. Thanks for your Offer Bruno I will PM you. Mark
m^rk Posted March 17, 2008 Author Posted March 17, 2008 read ya PM matey I have replied Bruno. I am off to bed Now as i have got An Important meeting this Afternoon. Take Care Mark
S8 Blade Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 through both of these Very worthwhile Causes yet Not one Person in the Whole of Sheffield Donated a Single penny I've just looked at your fundraising pages.. There are a few donations on there from people from this very forum, and lots of user names I recognise. Please don't feel disheartened, there are so many charities in this day and age and everybody wants everyone to make a donation everyday of the week and it simply isn't possible. People will make a donation to a charity of their choice, and if they can, will give to another. You cannot force people to donate, only ask, as you have done.
JoeP Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Doing anything for good causes is Hell. A nice Hell, but Hell all the same. I regularly support 3 or 4 groups financially, and an increasing number of groups and individuals through my time or providng free websites and free or cheap hosting, or by being a trustee. It can sometimes feel that you're making no difference - but you are. Your very presence as someone who gives a damn is important; it shows teh world that you, for one, cares and are willing to give up time and energy. Even if you feel that you don't seem to be having many donations, you have no idea what your efforts have spurred people to do. Just keep at it. Best of luck!
Lotusflower Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Don't despair M^rk! You are bigger than you feel right now! I Know this although we've yet to meet. Don't lose sight of the fact that this work you are doing is your love made visible. Every blessing that is mine to give is yours. :)
