Hamster fund for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance

Sep 22, 2006 10 Replies

The YAA airlifted Richard Hammond to hospital after his Top Gear crash and this donations page has been set up to help fund the £3600 a day they need to keep the helicopter in the air.



In 24 hours it's raised nearly £50,000



Go on, log on and give them a tenner. You know you want to.

"Why," said Ford squatting down beside him and shivering, "are you lying face down in the dust?" "It's a very effective way of being wretched," said Marvin.

Justgiving.com who take their own slice. Go direct (and make a gift aid declartion) and the charity gets the whole lot.

A whole 5%, which is probably not far off what the charity gets charged on card transactions anyway.

I thinks its more like 2%.

All depends on the volume of transactions they put through.

I suspect they won't have the kind of volumes required to get rates down to 2%.

their fees etc are here

And how much would they be charged if you sent them a cheque?

Don't know what the current cheque charges are for 'business' customers.

But the cost of having staff processing cheques will certainly be significant.

A deserving cause, but they're not the only ones.
