Hi there everyone, hope this post is okay. Im a long time watcher and fan of the bandit, I even won one of his first prize draws back in the day (those where the days) and im serial backinamo lurker even though I haven’t really posted but I’m always here one way or another, So I feel like I know you all without knowing you haha. I have just started a justgiving page and I’m posting it in the communities I’m a part of as I don’t have the family and friends needed to share and gain any traction necessary to make a start. So I ask if there’s anyone out there that understand’s or can relate or even just care. If you could share the link and post it to your other friends and family I’d be forever grateful. Thank you Backinamo.
*edited seedy just giving links are not allowed*

Plenty of better alternatives out there that’ll do a lot more good for the charity involved.

For example, I set up a just giving page asking for donations to help the homeless where I’m going to buy them food and sleeping bags etc. The donations are withdrawn from the page directly to me, and there is no regulation on what I then do with those funds.
