Just read on the Rovers supporters website that this initiative today has raised £16000 for the North Bristol food bank, well done gasheads. |

Just read on the Rovers supporters website that this initiative today has raised £16000 for the North Bristol food bank, well done gasheads. I'd like to say thank you Gas-Heads and extended, as I have been the beneficiary of several food bank parcels after losing a whole summer of work. And I'd like to put on record the difference it makes. When you've been eating bread and cereal and have a delivery like pasta and sauce, to actually taste something in such a long time, hoensty, I have no shame in saying it brings a tear to your eye. At least, it did mine. Many a tale on that front that I'll save for the Health Chat thread, but again Thank you Gas-Heads. You've got a man through very hard times 🙏 This |

Anybody that was planing on spending £10 to watch tomorrow's game i urge you to donate it here instead.
Don't think its worth £10?
I get it, we give so much to charity and "chuggers"
Meet me half way, donate £5, you get to keep £5, plus you can sleep tonight knowing you did something amazing for just £5
what can you buy with £5?
but it could mean a child doesn't go to bed hungry

I'm in a much better place now, on my way to even better, and once this chapter has been written I'll be in a better place to recite it back! I'm in a place where I'm buying extra on my food shop and returning the favour back to the foodparcel recepticles at the supermarket now 😎 and that's the kind of hope that means the most to me, getting past that, and knowing that a bit of food and understanding can get people through a few hard weeks, and how much of a springboard a small helping hand turns into a large leg up! 🙏💜 Too true, big difference between a hand out and a leg up. |

Tender donated from Madrid. Great cause and the website they use seems to give them the most of our donations. UTG

Such a shame that we even have to do this. It’s is. But unfortunately the majority of the voting public voted in a bunch of vile money grabbing bastards to run this country. Remember next time you vote folks. |

Remember next time you vote folks. Whilst I fully agree with Baggins, but food banks were around way before our current Government. So don't think it's just been a problem under the Tories. Wasn't the UK's largest food bank opened under Labour? |

Guys please back on topic. Donate to the scheme or don't. Please don't let this turn in to another political thread. Its not necessary for this thread which is a good community deed for those in crisis. Plenty of space to play on general chat.
(I am not a mod here. I post as a concerned user)

Even though I have a season pass so I don’t have to pay £10 per game on iFollow, I’ve still made a donation today for such an important cause.
