I would assume interest is being added to the debt we currently have - so monies being paid in as quickly as possible would reduce the amount going to the bank instead of the club. My suggestion is if the club can provide say a email address with auto responder set up with paypal account details (stating clearly how the donating person can avoid passing charges on for that payment) Bank transfer details postal address details for checks with who to make it payable to Credit/debit card payments by phone with phone number - again making it clear that debit card charges are a lot less in charges so the donating person can donate by debit card if money permitting. and of course the courtesy of thanking the fan. All very easy to set up, and can be done now. The email address could be something like LeighFightingFund@leighrl.co.uk. This could be put on the official site, here as a sticky, LISA site, Leigh Life (or whatever its called) etc. Better than putting bank details directly on line - as I think that looks a bit risky/dodgy. Comments please?

Think someones set one up now

I have set 1 up. the word just needs spreading and people need to retweet. Add me on Facebook too

But its not coherent. Money I think needs to go direct to the bank of the club now, and I think this email thing could be done today and the email address put everywhere.
Going off this thread its only the paypal account the club needs to set up, as the rest is there.

Just answer this if the club set it up dont they have to pay tax on contribution s where as if its LISA a Charity they dont?

If you have a registered charity number then you won't have to pay . I can help Lisa set 1 up if your unsure lynda

That is a good positive point made, which I don't have the answer apart from I don't see how a donation can be classed as taxable income - just like LISA. Can someone answer for sure on this?

I only put my point across on this issue because of all the threads on here we seems to have too many people who want to help now but are restricted. We also have too many hero's wanting to help - people meaning well of course but its just adding to the confusion.
All we need is one source of contact with every possible way of donating and also getting it to the clubs bank account as quickly as possible.

On the email list I mentioned I missed off the obvious of walking up to the stadium and making donation.

Registered charities don't pay, I just didn't think LISA would be classed as one.

A gift is exempt from income tax.

Thank you

Fred / Dave can this be set up?

ive set one up for LISA just need to check if its ok to put the bank details on with our treasurer

if you give me your paypal email i'll send the funds in my account to yours. £27.31 what people have donated. i will tell you it takes around 21 days for payments to be abled to transfer to an account

maybe someone going to the meeting on Wed can ask our Dave will be busy filming and reporting on the meeting so if someone else can ask?

I can't make the meeting myself. I have too much going on as it is.
But if someone can please mention this at the fans forum - I genuinely believe its the way to go and save on the confusion.
