You may remember that last year there was a competition on Ebay with a top prize of £7000 for the winning charity. We were thrilled to win the second prize of £3000. The good news is that this year Ebay are holding it again.

	We have running costs of around £20,000 a year, but with no income other than member donations ~~this~~ prize would be a huge boost to our funds.		We have running costs of around £20,000 a year, but with no income other than member donations a prize would be a huge boost to our funds.
