Support the GB Team!

The external funding for the GB Orienteering Team has largely disappeared this year, so the GB Team going to the World Orienteering Championships in Estonia at the end of the month needs help from the orienteering membership. 

The team has set up a 'My Donate' page. Money donated goes to the Orienteering Foundation, which is a well-established charity. It has agreed to pass on the money raised through this page to help meet the expenses of the team and hence reduce the amount the team members have to pay themselves. Money donated can attract gift aid, can be anonymous, can carry an encouraging message, and in addition it will be accounted for in end of year accounts so donors can get good feedback
