Great idea. Is it something to Trust can set up with Ollie's blessing?

Might get some national coverage that way and raise an amount to make everyone proud.

I’m not sure how the Mind “sponsorship” of the EFL works but I’m sure they’d get involved somehow

Top idea.

I’d urge discretion at an emotional time for those involved though.

Be great if someone who has the know how could set something up.

Mental health is still seen as a ‘taboo’ subject but, especially at the moment, it is something that touches all of us or someone close to us at some point in our lives.

Thats why I suggested raising the money to give to Ollie for his choosing of which charity to give it to, be it for suicide prevention, mental health, or ANY other charity that he thinks would benefit. Anything that makes him feel supported by us, and to support a worthy cause.

If a JustGiving appeal was set up, it can be timed for weeks or months down the line for the money to be available, so would be hopefully comfortably beyond the rawness of the emotions he feels now.

The be all and end all is that WE support HIM.

I'm in, had issues of my own with mental health, always said I could deal with any disease or physical ailments but to deal with the your head when it's gone "pop" is so very difficult and to understand and in all honesty, admit your ill.

Rather than a Just Giving page, who take a percentage of what's donated how about a payment into one person and then we can set a deadline for donations and at the closing date make a presentation of the amount raised to Ollie.

I have run the buster for a number of years now and handled thousands of pounds of fishy posters money so I would be willing to be the one to accept the donations if you wanted.

I could then keep people up to date with a running total of money raised.

Just an idea.

Les, you are trusted and get what you are saying. I'm with you about ALL funds raised going to Ollie for him to distribute to charity as he feels fit.
I suppose it just puts pressure on you dealing with the handing out of your details by it if you can handle it then I think you should maybe set up a new thread and merge this one with it?
