Please keep the resources and the money coming in! We still need to raise enough money to make the next shipment possible... why not set up a monthly donation to the project, or you can organise a fundraiser in work? Everything really helps us achieve the goals!
We operate a very cost-efficient operation. No money is wasted in any way, everything we get is cheap or free, and we all appreciate the value of every penny and pound. We streeeeeetch our money and make it go a long way! With any resources that you have for us, we'd be really grateful if you could deliver to our lock-up at Keepsafe Storage, Brislington, or we can take small amounts of donations at our office at Kings Square, in the city centre. Should you have no way to get resources to us, lets chat and we'll make a plan!
