Fund-racing from Land's End to John O'Groats
In an epic journey, reminiscent of the family courts, from Land’s End to John O’Groats, Phil Evans raised over £900 for FNF. A member and father, Phil cycled the length of the country in the heat of mid-summer alongside 11 other members of the Port Talbot Wheelers Cycling Club. He raced north in little over a week, regularly travelling over a hundred miles a day and exceeding his fundraising target. We are very grateful for such a brilliant sum that Phil raised quickly, simply and safely using Just Giving - an online service which has the added bonus of automatically collecting Gift Aid, adding an extra 28% to every penny donated. Families Need Fathers has an account with Just Giving, which is at the disposal of FNF members, their friends, families and supporters. If you would like to find out about using Just Giving to support a fundraising project, please e-mail julius.hinks@fnf.org.uk. Great work Phil!

Raise Money Online
There are several ways you can make money for FNF whilst you use the internet - at no cost to you.
- The first is by using Everyclick, a search engine which donates half its revenue to charity.
- Every time you use www.everyclick.com/familiesneedfathers to do your online searching, FNF gets some cash.
- Add it to your Favourites and set it as your Homepage and Searchbar with the tools in the top right hand corner. If every member takes part, then FNF will reap some serious rewards.

Mobile Phone & Printer Cartridge Recycling Scheme
- Last year the FNF Mobile Recycling Scheme raised over £1000 – and it’s time for the good work to continue. We’ve got Recycle4Charity on board this year, who are giving us 50% of the recycling value for every phone they receive (at least £2.50 - but up to £30 for newer models).
- You will have found a stamped address bag inside your McKenzie magazine this month (if you didn't get one, or need another, just e-mail Julius and we'll get one out to you). All you need to do is pop your old mobile phones in there (no matter how old or broken) and then in the post. We’ll also get £1 for every used inkjet cartridge (as long as they haven’t already been recycled) – so stick them in there as well.
You’ll also be doing the planet a favour.
You can arrange for Recycle4Charity to send recycling boxes and bags direct to your office or house. Whether you need a whole box, or just a few bags, Recycle4Charity will send you whatever you need.
Everything will be marked up with their address and our reference number - all you need to do is fill it up and send it off, and the money comes straight to Families Need Fathers.
Just click the banner below to get recycling bags and boxes sent to you. If you need any help, just e-mail Julius.
If you could help support any of these initiatives (by including a link on your website, or in your company's e-mail signatures, for example) then please e-mail Julius and find out more.
