So here we are in the last quarter of the 2009/10 fundraising year in which we have committed to raise £5million through voluntary donations from the Gambling Industry.
We are delighted to report that this year’s fundraising campaign has gone very well - our fundraising total for 2009/10 currently stands at just under £4.5million, when taking into account donations actually received plus committed pledged amounts outstanding.
We are extremely grateful to all those who have made a donation. As you will see, our supporters now include banks and professional advisers and we will continue to seek support from organisations that make a profit directly and indirectly from gambling.
With just over £500,000 more to raise before 31st March 2010 we are now requesting that those of you in the Gambling Industry that have not yet made your 2009/10 donation do so as soon as possible. Time is running out for us to reach our annual fundraising target to avoid the introduction of a statutory levy on all licence holders.
Rest assured, you can be confident in the knowledge that your donations are being used to get the best value for money in the provision of research, education and treatment of problem gamblers.
