Updates – Finances and Podcast Changes!

Today I have been updating two of our key pages, Fundraising and Finances, plus Podcasts and Vlogs

• Finances

We recieved two additional donations related directly to our Community Day event on 14th March at Scunthorpe United FC.

Firstly, an anonymous donor finally agreed to pay £80 for the boxing glove signed by British boxing legend, Frank Bruno.

Secondly, a long-time supporter of Friends of Pakati, David Scott, lived up to his promise to double whatever we raised. In total, we had £346 donated, & he completed the offer by adding another £346, making a grand sum of £692 for our efforts at the Community Day!

We are organising for David to be a guest on our podcasts soon, hopefully in the next few days.

• Podcasts

I also revamped the page providing our podcasts & vlogs so far, putting them in reverse order this time, so the latest is at the top of the list. Just seemed better to me.

There is a lot of work that goes on in the background to produce the content here on the Friends of Pakati website, all done by volunteers, not least of which is Bradley Mell, our podcast host.
