So .... the fundraiser, Simon? What happened to the rest of that money?
GoFundMe update time! Currently £3966 raised of the £4000 target. We're nearly there!
There have been 213 donations, so the overall raised is £3544.66, as GoFundMe will take £115.01 as their 2.9% cut, and £53.25 for their transaction charge (at £0.25 per donation). Total of £168.26.
So there have been two donations since the one on 30 September, one on 7 October to a "community pop up food store" in Chelmsford, and another charity in Southend that does food packages.
Total distributed is £3544.66 (*). That leaves £253.08 in the kitty undistributed.
Donations are slowing down, there hasn't been one for 5 days. How we will make the next £500 wodge of cash given that there's only £33 left to go to the target. Where will the remaining quarter of a ton go? We can only wait and see.
(*) per Simon's receipts.

I've just checked Simon's receipts as I was relying on his account of how much he's distributed. That's incorrect. But it's not what you think! He's actually distributed MORE than he says he has. Come on man.
Total distributed is £3554.36, meaning there's £239.38 undistributed in the kitty.
Interestingly, it's not technically £500 wodges. here's the tally for what each charity has 'received' (in total amount spent on food from Morrisons. Why it's all from Morrisons, I don't know)
Friends of Isaac's £509.07 (Simon reports £500)
Southend Storehouse £503.75
Hopeworx £508.07
Life Community Church £513.15
Happy Hub £507.34
St Francis Community Pop Up Food Store £509.14
Get the Kids Out £503.21
