This comes up every time. The donations are NOT to Wycombe Wanderers (the pro league club in Buckinghamshire), but to WICKHAM Wanderers ( a youth football club in Croydon).

Thanks LB. That's the sort of helpful info needed. Not sure why asking for it provoked such a reaction. Buying the minibus is an impressive achievement. Is there some info on the ways it has been used, and the benefits it's provision has delivered? To not use that example to raise awareness of...

Give me strength. I haven't once mentioned you, or your challenge. Not once. I've asked sensible questions of the workings of the Fund that's all. I don't claim to speak on behalf for anyone but myself, but in my opinion, if you want people's cash, these are simple things they are entitled to...

So they are not 'waiting for someone to ask', or they are responding to 'requests'? Which is it? Does the charity have a clear idea about what it wants to achieve, or does it react to requests as they are presented? Grow up Gareth. These are valid points, relating to the Fund in general...

Well yes. I know you are sort of joking, but this is also a valid point. There are two approaches for sponsorship that will have me reaching for my cash - ones raising money for something important to me, and ones where the effort and sacrifice the fundraiser is making, earns my respect. If...

To be fair, we all know that. But all it really says is 'blah blah kids blah blah football'. Its not a strategy. What I'm saying is that, in my opinion, and of the friends I have discussed this with, is that many people would be far more likely to donate if they could be confident that the funds...

Agree with Stat here. Please don't be aiming personal digs at Gareth, who is giving up his own time and energy, to do a good thing. It's completely not needed, and makes you look pretty spiteful. The questions about what the REMF is aiming to do with its funds though - what its current...

Gareth, don't just leave the questions from Lokki and myself unanswered. Explain what will be done with the funds you raise. People are very generous. Make an effort to make them believe in the causes, and your donations will flood in. The HISTORY of REMF is an inspirational one. It was a great...

Is that a yes, then? That it is only kids' football teams that the charity is supporting now? The thing is, when I was fundraising for REMF, I actually tried to make some effort beyond just posting on NSC - I actually wanted to try family, freinds, workmates, etc. Most of those people have kids...

Is it all just going to buy kit for kids' football teams, now then? To be honest when I was producing literature to assist my REMF fundraising, I always underplayed that part, and promoted the contributions to Coaching For Hope, and AIDS awareness in East Africa, etc. Is the REMF still...
