The totals are in for April through to June fundraising here at Blantyre Telegraph and what an REMARKABLE 3 months! As always, it’s YOU who’s made it happen. We’re delighted to announce a very decent £667 was raised for local good causes!
Added to our overall fundraising total to date, it means Blantyre Telegraph (and its readers) have now raised a whopping £52,919 supporting 308 local good causes since the page started in 2011!
£514 was raised by the kind members of our supporters group, £65 in very kind private donations and £88 in book sales.
Several excellent donations were therefore possible BACK to local good causes. £153 donated to Macmillan Cancer Support, £100 to the Moores supporting the Haven, £100 to the Scouts Summer raffle, £184 to buy 2 new trolleys for David Livingstone Birthplace, £80 for Addicted to Life Group and £50 supporting Dionne Hossack for Little Princess Trust.
As always, not one penny is retained by us! All awards were notified at the time on our Supporters Group page. Our website has been updated with donation and award records, in the interests of full transparency here. https://theblantyretelegraph.com/raised/
