It costs money to run a free website: our server costs alone are £400 per month. Last year we had 40,000 visitors to the site from whom we received only £40 in donations. We are not currently receiving any other income. At this rate, we will run out of money in the next few months and the site will be forced to close.
Please make a minimum donation of £5 to keep the site going. Thank you
