Our fundraising totals for January 2020 are now announced here and have been allocated to local good causes.
January is always the quietest month for most traders and for us , it was no exception. Despite this, Blantyre Telegraph still raised £190.30 all towards various local good causes! Since 2015, our fundraising now reaches a new updated incredible total of…wait for it…. £30,252 for 184 local good causes!
Fundraising was from various sources:
£96.00 from the sales of Edition 10 (January) Magazine.
£28.00 from Magazine Advertising.
£12.00 from public subscriptions on our website
£5.00 from public donations
£23.30 from the sale of Blantyre Project books.
£26.00 from Website Advertising.
Every penny raised goes entirely to local good causes, as always. We’re pleased to announce, this has been spent as follows:
£129.00 to buy 86 year old Ronnie Grant a new wallet, replace his lost £100 in lost cash and give him a nice gift.
£25.00 for little Ellie Gardiner to surprise her nana with flowers
£36.00 for a 1 x A4 stand and charity donation tin/stickers for another new outlet for our magazine.
