Although any extra money they may (or may not) offer would always be welcome, I'm sure, I wouldn't let the club and it's management structure anywhere near the fund with your barge-pole, let alone mine; not only will they want some say in who gets helped, they'd also be looking at monetising their involvement somehow.
Additionally it may then need to be registered as a legal charity to function under such an arrangement
Also with more people finding out about the fund, there'll suddenly be loads of new "I've been reading the site since the dot com days but never bothered registering until now (Oh, and I urgently need a bag of sand - can you help me out?)" types appearing.
Doesn't appear broken, so no need for a fix. Sorry, but a big no from me!

Keep up the good work chaps 👍🏼
A glimmer of light in a sea darkness, the fund must be pretty unique these days.
I did once make a tiny donation and would do again if / when I'm in a position to do so.
Has anyone ever asked the club to donate?
Who would be the best person to approach?

67 - Nice one mate, really pleased for you. Certainly worst places than Canterbury to reside too.
Not so long ago I run into an unexpected bad situation myself and the WHO fund also gave me some assistance that I was very grateful for. it's a real ''thing'' and can be a lifesaver. Many thanks to Charley and MPI for doing what they do with the fund and also for making it as 'pleasant' and as seamless as possible when one reluctantly comes cap in hand, not to mention the discretion shown. Thanks again and long live the fund.

A massive thanks to the kind souls on this forum and the guardians of the WHO fund. I was allocated a 1 bedroom flat near Canterbury town centre a few months ago and no you can't stay Defjam hahaha

Chim,
Thanks for these words, Charley and I do, occasionally, fret over decisions we make together, we are acutely aware it is other peoples money, and what on and how we use the money for has evolved and become more complex and not always easily explained without giving away some confidences that are involved. This weighs heavy when we over think it,
I have recently reached out ot a few WHOers to discuss this in the round and the sage advice included when people give money to charities do they expect to know how their money was spent?
The manager (And Excel freak) in me wants to be forensic but I know deep down that we are trusted and the effort we put in appreciated.
It's always nice when the benefit, feel good factor and pride of the use is clear cut, immediate and apparent but it doesn't always work out that way.

You know there's no real need to be held by account to us Moncs as you're as honest as the day is long. I doubt anyone on here could even imagine anything that you do you do with complete wholehearted empathy.
If anyone was to take the piss and take advantage of you (and by extention us) the shame would be poured on them, not you, Charlie or whoever else you involved in the decision making.
Never underestimate the highest regard we hold you in. The WHO fund is one of the best things this site ever did and I am very grateful that you choose to be the custodian, as do most people. It can't be easy dealing with Hammers on the bones of their arses.
I don't think I could do it, making judgement calls about the extremely broad church that populate this site but I am glad that people like you and Charlie step up to the plate. I'm sure most of us feel the same x

Evening Whoers overdue update on the fund, with some recent movent so lets give the figures 1st
Balance at Last Update: £2,166.60
Ins
16/03/2024 WHO Loan Repayment £300.00
23/05/2024 CREDIT GO FUND ME £ 28.88
Outs
17/04/2024 WHO Gesture £56.46 (Donation to PDs brother)
15/05/2024 WHO Gesture £235.00
27/05/2024 WHO Gesture £200.00
01/06/2024 WHO Loan £700.00
20/06/2024 WHO Gesture £200.00
02/07/2024 WHO Gesture £206.50 (WHO Wreaths)
Current Balance: £897.52
The WHO loan is self explanatory and is backed off with a plan agreed with Charley and I.
The other gestures could become a long story, but I will summarise i that as much time and heart went into these as money, the personal stories are ongoing and I hope one day the individuals affected can tell you the good news stories themselves, firsthand.
Thank you for being interested, look after each other

OK. I've gone for a predictable Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle & Spurs acca. Not a millionaire maker, but am sure the fund will appreciate the tiny boost.

Sorry Mike,
Had some work challenges that have seriously curtailed my time on WHO.
I thought this was a nice idea but I am sworn off gambling and so I am not your man for tips here.
One thing a mate does is 'both teams to score' if not you chose the acca and we can monitor on the day

OK - so how about a bit of last-game-of-the-season fun?
I do a 4 match acca every week and it has cost me 30 quid over the whole season, so a bookmaker I'll never be. But maybe a 4 match acca in support of the Gavvy fund will nicely round off our disappointing season.
I'll stump up the stake so am not asking for anybody to reach into their sky, simply to offer up a prediction of the result of 4 games on the final day.
I'll go with the most popular choice of 4 games (or simply mine if nobody else gives a fuck) and place the bet the day before the games.

Phew that's a relief. You will be pleased to know I did not spend the proceeds on shoes, handbags and coke nor did I panic and invoke the contingency plan. :-)
