Can you not keep the donation button open and just hand over the cash to the British Legion and Help for Heroes once the plauque has been installed.

No doubt the Club would like to unveil it properly, be nice to hand over the extra cash to whoever is doing the unveiling?

Some people may not agree with those charities for whatever reason.
Better to just suggest they contribute to whatever charity they either patronise anyway or just like. I'm sure Acorns wouldn't turn it down for instance.

Folks - sorry, if anyone wants to donate to British Legion/Help for Heroes/others,  please do so direct - not only do we suffer a paypal charge, but we wouldnt get gift aid on your original value, so it is best to donate direct to your particular cause.  Thanks again for all those who have donated and those who missed the cut off.

Disappointed to miss the cut off so a donation has been made to both the British Legion and help for Heroes. Well done to all concerned. It will be a fitting tribute and another reason to be proud of our great club.

Only just come across the thread and obviously too late to contribute to this one.  My money going to British Legion now.

Well done everybody for getting in so quickly and generously.

Well done to those who thought up the idea, and to those who made it happen.

Well done Villa for their support

It's like Mr W said, some sites talk about it, H&V does it.
