2018

So this is what Alan Turing’s Statue looked like this past weekend for his birthday:

You did this. All of you. You raised a little over £1,600 for special effect, which will go to improving peoples lives.

Thank you all so much. You are amazing.

Accounting!

Okay, the boring accounting part:

• We were approached by a private donor, who, at our advice, sent £1,000 to special effect. We remain staggered by this.
• The Paypal pool raised £624.50 (there were some corrections around this – for example some people couldn’t access the pool, they transferred money to me, and then my girlfriend put the relevant money into the pool with a note, but those were small acts to make sure the amount was accurate.
• There were then two large purchases of flowers, one of 59.66 and one of 34.84, for a total of £94.50. The receipts are below.
• This leaves exactly £530 to transfer to special effect. Screenshot below.
