We have officially closed our Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal for Humanitarian Relief to Ukraine, with some £3,200 (inc Gift Aid) raised from your generous donations. We appreciate that many of you will have donated directly to this or other appeals, but with the war out there still raging and the refugee crisis daily magnifying across Ukraine’s western Borders, you may still donate to DEC by using this link: https://donation.dec.org.uk/ukraine-humanitarian-appeal

We have utilised our new Sumup credit card reader on the occasion of this appeal, but have not previously made it clear that, depending upon which card you use, Sumup makes a deduction of  1.1% or 1.3%, depending on whether you use a debit or credit card. This is to emphasise that, whilst this may seem an equitable sacrifice for the convenience of card payment, when you donate online through your bank, Sunnyside receives and can pass on the full amount of your gift + Gift Aid.
