very sad to read the email in my work inbox
leapt into action on the intranet bike group and trying to see if the company can offer man hours to help
possibly the odd PC...Posted 8 years ago # -
All offers of help are welcome as is support for the Crowdfunder appeal, even if you can only spare a fiver, it makes a difference...

Bump, the Bike Station still needs your support, if you want to still have a Bike Station this time next year.

It seems a shame that they have put a time restrictions on the vouchers for various things. I probably would be tempted, but can't be sure I would use them within a year.

chrisfl,
don't worry there's always the donation option if none of the rewards take your fancy. I'm sure you'll still get a thanks, although it wont be the official reward one as far as I can tell. It comes with an extra portion of that nice warm feeling which is useful on a day like today too.

Indeed, I had gone on planning to give more and then the "rewards" system worked me down to a smaller reward, rather than talking me up to one of the workshop sessions which I would have done without the timelimit. Great to see that the original goal of 10 000 has now been met.
Also occurs to me that donating directly to the charity with gift aid is more efficient.

500 US dollars from moodys I wonder why they paid in dollars not in pounds

Thanks to everyone who backed the "Rebuild the Bike Station after the fire", it has now ended having raised £16,230 (with an initial £10,000 target).
Hopeful they will be able to move back into the main building by early spring. The asbestos contamination is now complete, the next task is to get the roof replaced, then clean up the interior and repair the heat and smoke damage.
