Thanks

Our annual crowd fund appeal has now closed and we’re delighted to have the support of over 500 readers. We’re disappointed not to be be able to reach our full target but we recognise that people are skint and are already giving to other causes and projects. It may also be that as someone once told me “If you are caught in the crossfire you know you’re in the right zone.”

So we’ll continue to publish content that is challenging and critical that moves people out of their comfort zones and continues to try and open up a space to new writers and unheard voices.

Thanks for your support.

    Sorry target not reached. I wish I could have given more but have no income so it’s a struggle.
    Thanks for keeping us informed

    1. Thanks Alan – I realise everybody’s broke. This has been a crowdfund of lots of fivers and tenners. We may need to cut some costs and lose the office but will be able to continue.

        Why did you crowdfund just before Christmas ? Most people get paid monthly so their last pay from which they will buy Christmas presents etc will be end of November which means end of October was used to pay for other urgent needs.
        You would have been more successful doing this April may time .Have another go
        April 2018 before you reorganise .

        1. Hi Terence – we ran the campaign through October and had put it off for several months so as not to cut across other peoples fundraising.
