kobblers Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Just to let you all know that if you've sold summat for a decent price on here, or you regularly sell stuff, that the Forum is still accepting donations to the Jimmy Mizen charity. All donations are greatly appreciated. http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/displaySomeoneSpecialPage.action?pageUrl=shoerepairer Rick. grahamparker, x minit uk and cobblers.keys 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers.keys Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 If I sell my power finisher on here for the asking price then I will donate £250. kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted June 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I have just been told that the Jimmy MIzen fund is no longer active so we're looking for suggestions for another good charity, if anyone wants to recommend one.

petercoulson Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I think a good cause would be a lifesaving charity like RNLI we have a link with shoe repairs as well, soles...... CitySafe and kobblers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitySafe Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 We will get 4 or 5 charities in a list, and open it up to a vote. Whoever has the most votes will become the forum charity for the next 12 months (we can do a re-vote every 12 months). Everyone happy with that? gavin, kobblers, Mike at Vauxhall and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC77 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Are you sure that the Jimmy Mizen charity is no longer active ? http://forjimmy.org/fundraise/ It would seem that all that is not working is the Virgin Money giving page. Is this because of the change to City Safe ? DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this because of the change to City Safe ? DC Hi. The charity is still active, but the forum justgiving page is no longer active. Apparently the virgin money pages are only valid for 2 years at which point they close down. Instead of starting a new one we are giving the whole forum a chance to select a charity of their choice. If they choose the Jimmy Mizen foundation again then that is what we will support for the next 12 months. We will conduct a vote week commencing 26th June on the charities nominated on this thread. Whoever gets the most votes will become the forum charity for 12 months. kobblers and keithm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Don't we have a charity of our own, for fellow repairers fallen on hard times? I seem to remember one in the distant past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Changed names but I think it is: http://www.footwearfriends.org.uk/ So why can't we promote our own charity? Seems counter productive to promote our own charity then donate to another. kobblers and pdr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitySafe Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hi. As mentioned earlier everyone will have the opportunity to vote for the forum's charity. Footwear friends will be added to the list for people to vote for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
