Great to be able to report that, together with gift aid, the total has now reached over £30,000! And that donated in a very short space of time. So a massive thank you to all those who have responded and given. The gifts will enable Yulia to do everything she has planned (and a bit more!) to convert the derelict farm building into a refuge for women and children. Marcus is now in the process of getting the money to her. There will be pictures soon to show the funds in use. There is already this short video of the very first steps she has been able to take: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pPDlrsy8kspmgAhgfm3gNGgSQJ_j2v0G/view?usp=sharing

The government announced details of a £150 council tax rebate earlier this year to help ease the rising cost of energy bills. But it didn’t take long for scammers to jump on this opportunity. Councils never ask for bank details over the phone. So if you’re contacted this way about the £150 council tax rebate and are asked for personal and bank account details, hang up. There are variations of this scam through text and email. ‘Which’ magazine explains how the scam works and how to report it.
