in a good cause

Definitely a good cause but make sure that you are happy with how much the Justgiving site charges by way of deductions. You may be able to donate direct to Richard & Anthea so that they get the full benefit of your Gift Aid declaration.

gotta say, I just passed on the link. Part of the tandem trike is my work...

I guess it depends how much they take for admin. I don't see why anyone should work for nothing if they don't want to, but equally, they shouldn't take the piss either.

No slur on your good character was intended. Just that we were nearly caught out on a similar website when a friend was doing a charity something. She was totally unaware of the skim taken by the site.

Aye, 's OK. I made my bti out of supplying the machine, after all, well part of it.

Might be worth a check on the site in general, see if they rake anything and if so whether 'tis reasonable.

Just been looking at the justgiving site:

explains how much they take and how much the charity gets. Looks pretty fair to me.

5% on the tax relieved amount seems fair to me too.

even after the vat and such, the charity still get a bonus above the actual donation.

Indeed it is. I just hoped that no one would get an unwanted surprise ;-)

it was a good point to make - you tend to assume that such things are working for the good of the charities, and I daresay there are roolz, but they may allow quite a bit of leeway.
