We've had a fantastic start to the campaign
One of the organisations who will benefit from the Robin Hood Fund say they are 'overwhelmed' with the response so far. Nottingham Community and Voluntary Service will use the money raised to ensure grassroots organisations receive the help they need to keep going.
Nottingham Community and Voluntary Service has been helping the people of Nottingham since 1875. They support other charities and voluntary services by helping them to find funding, setting up groups, providing training and information. Regarding the need to raise money to support charities, Jules added: "It is quite vital. The charity and voluntary sector are often the last line of defence and a real life line for people that either don't connect well with other services or have had a lot of difficulty. Often, they will rely on volunteers and people in their own communities to help them out through real difficulties.
Jules said: "We have got money already and that is fantastic. It doesn't matter, even £5, it all adds up. We are really enthused by the outpouring of generosity and just encourage people to keep on. You don't have to worry if you haven't a lot, all the little ones add up to a great thing."
