a little goes a long, long way

We're still adding up the last of the numbers but at this point it looks like we were able to raise £150,000 for our three chosen charities this year. The vast majority of this was from ticket sales, all of the proceeds of which went to directly to the charities. To put this into perspective, at Fruitstock last year, about twice as many people came and we raised £35,000. Still a lot of money but we're really pleased to have smashed that amount this year.
       
We have to admit early on we had to think hard about if ticketing was going to be the right thing to do this year. The fact that we've been able to raise over four times the amount of money for what we believe are great causes makes that worry worthwhile now. We'd like to thank you all for buying the tickets, without you it would have been just us in the park and £15 in the charity pot (we had to test the ticket buying system a couple of times).
       
Our three chosen charities this year were Samaritans, Friends of the Earth and WellChild by the way.

Thanks again, from us and the charities.
