Brilliant.....now all we want is Sir Bob Geldof doing the same Naomi ;0)

[pastafreak]

Maybe he has, and we don't know it. I'm sure there are plenty of significant donations by people of note that are not made public.

[brainiac]

He's not Sir Bob Geldof - the 'sir' is an honorary title as he's not the citizen of a Commonwealth realm. He's not styled 'Sir'.

[retrocop]

Usually though they push themselves to the forefront to advertise their altruistic intent i.e Geldhof Lilly Allen and all the others who were housing the world’s homeless.
Well done Prince William,Kate and Captain Tom.

Harry and Meghan doing their bit as well.

[Bobbisox1]

Naomi thanks for the happy thread, now it’s very gloomy on here a lot of the time , I’m on a lot more coz we can’t go out but I don’t want to feel depressed either so seeing good news is uplifting

[Bobbisox1]

Prince William sends secret donation




How do we know that?

[Jordyboy9]

Cmon Roy don’t be so antagonistic (Joking)

[sp1814]

The best people are those who give to charity and shut up about it.

We only got to hear about George Michael's charitable contributions after his death. My admiration for the man went through the roof.

Those who are noisy about their charity - less so.

[royfromaus]

That's why I never mention All my charity work, sp.

[marval]

Good news indeed, and we all need that.

Well done to all those who have donated.

[Bobbisox1]

To be fair, Williams donation was said to be an undisclosed amount , that would have been discussed before the money was put in place and I doubt if it were he telling people he’d donated

[emmie]

good for William and Kate. they seem like genuinely nice people..

[jourdain2]

Yes, they do. Other good news from my village is the massive community coherence which has emerged. A village facebook page has begun and keeps us all in touch. We are working together to keep children interested and active whilst in isolation (the local paper has printed an article on this) and, only today, I was able to volunteer to make hospital scrubs because someone has a pattern and access to cloth. Just finishing proofreading daughter's uni. thesis (well, most of it, just a child study to go) so I am far from being bored! A red/white & blue decoration for individual houses is mooted for May 8th and, before that, scarecrows and maypoles for May 1st (ideas welcome). It's all go. Just thought I'd note that there is GOOD news around - we just don't see it. Almost stopped watching TV news.
