Are you or someone you care about raising funds for a surgery or to get out of a tough spot? Maybe you got a local comic/tabletop gaming/record store or cafe that you'd like to give some shout outs to caus they put back in to the community and they're cool. Need volunteers? Here's a notice board for you! Send me an email with a brief description of what it's about, where it's at and what the url link is and I'll be happy to give it a home over here. If it's something with a deadline such as a fundraiser or an event, let me know that too and such things will go to the top of this page. Otherwise this is is a list of places I believe deserve backing.
Constantly under construction.

But it is not money for community centres, or for our schools, or for housing we can afford, or for services to those who have been hit by COVID 19, or to support those who have lost their loved ones. It is money for developers, by developers - hoping to remake our home into their image."
