Forum Funding

We are coming to that time every couple of years, where we need to ask for support for us to continue to run the forum.

As you know MyLabradorFriends is entirely non-profit making and run by volunteers.

But our forum funds are running rather low, and although we have secured a great discount from our hosting company, we really really need your support. Every penny is deeply appreciated!


HOW TO SUPPORT THE RUNNING OF OUR FORUM

 

[Candy]

Just tried to donate but it's saying there's a problem with my Postcode format! I've tried it with a space and without but it's not having it. Any ideas, or should I just try again later?

 

[Stacia]

@Candy, I have just managed to donate and no problem re post code. However, I didn't do it by Pay Pal, so maybe you did and the problem lies there?

 

[SteffiS]

@Candy I've done mine using paypal - no problems with it going through.

How much is everyone contributing, I don’t want to be thought of as mean or over generous. A between £? and £? would be good to know.

Well, I suppose I am a bit low, but at moment cannot do more, I only did £5 `Think I did something around Christmas time but could be totally wren! I imagine you give as much as you feel able x

Don't feel pressure, we know money is tight for many. Nobody will know your donation value, or whether you donate at all. Kate won't share that info.

No one would think of anyone as mean or flash, there’s no judgement at all and this is completely confidential - as @Jelinga and @Jacqui-S says, people should only give what they are comfortable with and no donation is absolutely fine. Money is tight for everyone so no expectations x

 

[edzbird]

I will add something to the coffers next week, after payday. This is such a special Forum of Friends.

 

[Candy]

Still not accepting my Postcode but done successfully via PayPal. Many thanks to @Beanwood and all the mods for keeping our friendly forum up and running for us!

 

[Atemas]

Done. Thank you to @Beanwood and all the Moderators/Admin and contributors to this very special forum. I am so grateful to be part of it

 

[Granca]

Done. Thank you to Kate @Beanwood, the Mods and everyone who makes this such a special place.

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

A big thank you to @kateincornwall and the mods and of course @snowbunny too for creating the forum to begin with!

If any 'top ups' are needed to meet the costs on top of the initial round of donations, please raise a hand again.

 

[kateincornwall]

@Emily_Babbelhund No thanks needed for me please, but lots to those who developed and then taken great care of this precious place xx

 

[Emily]

Thank for making it so easy to donate via PayPal

All done. Well, technically OH has donated as it's his PayPal account

 

[Jen]

I’ve sent some across but let me know if you need anymore x

It's entirely up to the individual, and of course whilst every penny is really appreciated there is no pressure.

There is an "other" function on the donate button, so people can donate a different amount.

Again, there is absolutely no pressure to donate, we appreciate how tough things are right now for everyone

 

[Granca]

It’s another bonus of this lovely forum that it’s a flexible donation, not a set fee - but do let us know if a top-up is needed. We don’t want to lose it!

Whoops, I was thinking "Kate" and typed you instead of @Beanwood . I blame jet lag! Of course I'm grateful for your time as a mod as well, but meant to say thank you to @Beanwood Kate.

 

[kateincornwall]

@Emily_Babbelhund soooo pleased you clarified this, I was feeling very embarrassed
