RCM ANNOUNCEMENTS / My Donate closing

« on: January 22, 2019, 12:53:02 PM »

The My Donate charity site is closing in June 2019. 

We are going back to Virgin Money giving as we are already registered with them and currently out of all the other charity sites it seems to be the best. There are some lesser known ones that appear to offer more, but they are small by comparison and we don't want to change again if all goes wrong.

If those of your who have a regular donation set up on My Donate wish to carry on contributing please could you go to :- https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/charity-web/charity/finalCharityHomepage.action?charityId=1007711 and set up your donation.

Thank you to everyone who has donated in the past and to everyone who will donate in the future.

We are fundraising to help with getting another Unit for RCM purely to be used for storage.

This will enable RCM HQ to open more rooms to the public, increasing the hands on experience to all those who visit.

If you think you could help please click on the link

The Vrs have now been crated and are on their way to port. They may have to stop there a while until we have raised a bit more money. Fingers crossed we can get them into the container soon and on the ship across to their new home. Thanks for your support so far.

RCM ANNOUNCEMENTS / Transport help required for VR Machines

« on: June 01, 2016, 08:56:24 PM »

We have the opportunity to increase our collection of VR machines.
The 2 machines are being donated to us for free, the only snag is they are located in Calgary, Canada.
We have had a shipping quote to get them crated up and transported to Leicester and we need to raise £3950.
If anyone is able to help us bring these machines back to Leicester where they were made please do consider donating to help us realise this fantastic chance we have been given.
We can not offer much as a repayment,  but we can offer free tickets to visit the museum. Number of free tickets will depend on amount donated, 1 free ticket for every £10 donated.

We have set up a Go Fund Me page to try to raise as much of the money as we can.
It is a fantastic chance that we don't want to miss out on.

The link to our fundraising page is :-
 https://www.gofundme.com/27ev5xjp

If you can help, however small please do.
Thank you
