Which charity is the prize draw for?
Our chosen charity for 2018 is CENTREPOINT, the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity.
As always, our cause connects with the prize we’re giving away. CRASHING is a comedy drama following the lives and loves of six twenty-something adults living together in a disused hospital, in an age of unaffordable housing and sky-high rents. The homeless young people helped by Centrepoint are facing even more challenging circumstances. If you would like to make a difference to their lives this Christmas, please help us to raise as much as possible by donating to this very worthy charity.
Who is fundraising?
DMF is a fan-run fansite supporting Damien’s work. We are very proud to have collaborated annually with Damien in fundraising for a number of different charities.
This is the fifth DMF and Damien Molony charity fundraiser! As with previous fundraisers the Crashing for Christmas prize draw is a group effort. Damien provides the inspiration, DMF creates and manages the fundraiser and runs the prize draw, but it is you the fans who truly make it happen. Without your kind-hearted donations and support, we would not be able to support a charity in this unique and wonderful way.
You can read more about our previous charity prize draws here.
How do I enter?
A donation of £5 gives you one entry into the prize draw, and will help to support Centrepoint’s work in giving homeless young people aged 16 – 25 a future.
You can enter as many times as you like, each £5 counts as one entry.
Every penny donated will go to Centrepoint and each donation helps. Not only that, every donation will be entered into the draw for the chance to win a one of a kind prize! The closing date is midday (UK time) 10 December.
Tip! The more you donate, the higher your chances of winning a prize. DVDs are limited to one per person, but Christmas cards will go to the top 3 donors at the prize draw closing date, even if they are also DVD winners. Please read the prize draw details below before donating.*

So sorry, but I clicked on gift aid. Didn't realise I shouldn't, I've been trying to find a way to remove it, but don't know how.
If this is going to cause problems for you, please remove me from the draw. Don't worry you can still keep the money.
Sorry again.

Okay I'm relpying to my own message, but I send a email to virgin money and asked them to remove the gift aid.
I will let you know tomorrow if they have. Then I can go back in the draw.
Sorry to be such a pain.

That's great Ann
Just to remind everyone again, prize draws are sadly not eligible for Gift Aid. This is mentioned on the fundraiser page story, but the Virgin Money Giving team will always automatically sort out any Gift Aid donations that might accidentally occur, so there is no need to do anything, or worry about this.
These are such brilliant prizes! Not only the chance to win a signed dvd but also a card personalised by our very own Damien!!! It's so wonderful that Damien supports the forum fundraisers and that this year he'll be signing personalised cards too! And of course best of all we'll be supporting a really worthwhile charity!
If I won the Christmas card, I would leave it on display all year.
Damien Christmas Card, not just for Christmas

I would maybe buy a special photo frame to keep it in. It would never be recycled.
