Easy way to get donations is to do it on-line as it means us dweebs dont even have to leave our PCs and go and find a chequebook....
A numebr of YDers have used Justgiving which is easy and secure (and I guarantee all money given will make its way nicely into my bank account
).
Justgiving - the easiest way to fundraise and donate to charity online
Seriously, it is safe and secure and easy.
