We can report today the end of May 2011 collection box total income, which at £363.88 compares against £478.54 for the same month last year.

Our year to date collection box income now stands at £1,543.33 compared to £1,934.45 at the same time last year.

We currently have 138x boxes at various locations compared to 151x locations at this time last year, which is perhaps a sign of the current economic climate.

As ever we would like to thank all the organisations, groups and locations which host a team collection box and above all, all those many kind supporters of the team who contribute to filling up our boxes with their change and the occasional bank notes!
