Respect where its due
« on: 14 April 2020, 09:50:29 pm »
He started off with a target of £100. As at 9:45 tonight, his just giving page has raised £3,643,995. Thats over 36,000 times his original target.

Think his target was £1000, but regardless he's just smashed the £4million mark. That's some serious money. :woot

Don't mean to put a downer on this but asking how does it work - are they pledges that need backing up with a payment or are they confirmed payments.

When you make a donation, you give your payment details and they take the money there and then. You can click to do Gift Aid too so a percentage of the money may take a bit of time to be paid by HMG

Ok great. Its just the likes of red nose day they always say "pledged amount" and I often wonder how many people rang up drunk and when sober - backed off.

When i looked at it, it was £0. You made a donation to Just Giving as an additional payment. Has that changed?

A Just Giving spokesman added: “97 percent of all funds raised by Captain Tom will go directly to NHS Charities Together.

Great, so they'll only get three quarters of a million quid for themselves...!!
