Ought to let you know that the amount WE raised was £633 and then we've got matched fundraising from one of the big banks (one of the parents works there and they sorted it out for us, hence the large amount).
And then of course, once I've got these units I'm going to have to find somewhere to store them which at the moment could be a bit tricky, as storage is another issue! (a big one!)
We too seem to get allotted a certain amount of towels per week - I'm just waiting for them to up the rent to cover the cost of them. Cybertwin - are you in a church hall? We are and pay £17.50 per morning rent which currently includes the cost of the towels. Is that similar to what you pay in rent? We are supposed to get a reduced rent because we are a church group - although it isn't very churchy at the moment - got so many issues going on with them about the hall and then when they see how much we raised in the raffle they're going to think we have loads of money and put the rent up again!
