THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

**UPDATED 17/11**

£1,500 raised

Campaign finished. Thanks to everyone that has donated.

The money will be 'officially' handed over (with cliché large novelty cheque) on Saturday 2nd December at Hyde's ground (Ewen Fields) when they play Tadcaster Albion. It will be featured in a forthcoming Dons' match programme at some point as well as the club website.

Not a bad effort by everyone involved. Bit random too!

£1000 wpuld be great but don't stop there and let it run over this figure and I assume we can gift aid oir donations, worth an extra 25%

GoFundMe doesn't allow gift aid - it's viewed as a personal gift platform and not for charity. In fact, I don't think any crowdfunding platforms allow gift aid if it is for 'crowdfunding' like this one - its only for charities or individuals raising money for charities.

Not sure if it will get that much attention to get it close to or over £1,000 in all honesty. GoFundMe charge per donation for their platform too (think it's around 8%).

It's a pretty first world cause, and more a gesture of goodwill than legitimately helping Hyde, they are fairly financially sound.

Think it's worth mentioning that Hyde United's CEO Mark Worthington has said that the FA Cup TV money/sponsorship they've gained was intended to go towards community projects/local causes and not the first team:

I watched the game for free on TV so can't think of a reason not to donate a fiver.

Nice one, saw that just now.

Donated
