Thank you :) every bit helps, no matter how big or small, it is all appreciated ...
Happy new year to you :)
OK... The Charity collection has now officially ended :)
Doing a quick calculation this morning you have donated the sum of £425.00 :) so, I will add another £100 on behalf of the site, plus another £25.00 from me, to make a grand total of £550.00 :)
I have already received an email from Birmingham Childrens Hospital, I am just waiting for Great Ormond Street to reply to my email, I will then split this two ways...
Thanks again for the effort of all involved, with a special thanks to the few that donated on more than one occasion...
Thanks again, and a Happy New Year
Stuart
Just to let you know the final figure to be split between the two charities is £600.00, so a grand total of £300 each :)
I have notified them both that this will be sent to them in the next few days, once they have this they will send me a thank you letter which I will post on the site ;)
Thank you to all the kind donations made by a few members of the site, I really appreciate your support :)
Stuart
Bit of a delay due to me being tied up with other things, but the cheques have now been posted....
I have had payment details from both, see below....
Birmingham's Children's Hospital
Hi Stuart,
That’s brilliant! Thank you so much for the kind donation from you and the members on your forum! Your money will definitely benefit our patients as donations and money raised through fundraising can be used for medical equipment, comfort and care, research and toys for the children! If you have no preference on what pot the money would go into may I suggest our cancer appeal which we are currently trying to raise £4 million pounds for. I have attached our Cancer Centre Appeal leaflet for your reference.
Please could you address the cheque to Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charities. The postal address to send the cheque to is:
The Fundraising Team,
Birmingham Children’s Hospital,
Steelhouse Lane,
Birmingham,
B4 6NH.
I will confirm receipt of the cheque as soon as I receive it by email and you will then be sent out a thank you letter to the address you have provided when it has been banked.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Kind Regards,
Hayley
The £300.00 is going to the cancer appeal...

Reply from Birmingham Childrens Hospital
‘On behalf of Birmingham Children’s Hospital I would like to thank the members of the ‘VW Audi Forum’ for your kind donation of £300. The money has been put towards our ‘Cancer Centre Appeal’ and your contribution will go towards creating a world class Cancer Centre. Being in hospital is a very scary time for our young Cancer Patients and they deserve the very best and your donation will help us to achieve this.’
This is just a small email Hayley sent me as confirmation, she is sending a proper letter headed reply in due course which I shall post on the site ;)
Stuart
I have now received the letters from both.. I will scan these in and post them on the site over the weekend :)
As mentioned here are the thank you letters from both charities...
I would just like to thank the few valued members that made an effort to donate towards this fund raising event.... In particular the one or two that donated a considerable amount on more than one occasion ;) THANK YOU!
