Fair Play needs your help - just
£5.00
We don't need a great deal to do our
work but the truth is, if you want us to be
effective, we have to ask you for a small
donation. (In fact, we've checked and we
actually have spent under £250 in the past year to
bring you: this site, 2xc weekly FP New, weekly
Research page, added Publications and Library items.
updated Facebook and Twitter at least 4x weekly,
made Freedom of Information requests, written to
Ministers, MPs, Councils etc - and reached many
groups and people. Imagine what we could do
with £2500! Volunteer effort = worth at
least £24,000 in the same period btw.)
