A Fans' Tribute for Nigel Doughty

[thehockleyhustler]

I have been thinking about what we can do as fans to honour Nigel and his legacy.

Nigel was a big supporter of NSPCC so I propose we set up a donation page where fans can put a little something towards a charity that was close to Nigel's heart.

I believe something like this would have meant a lot to him and also has the added benefit of giving towards a great cause.

Let me know thoughts and I will look at ways of getting this one moving should we all be in agreement.

What does that charity do? I'd be down to paypal a few bucks to somebody over there to donate as long as its a decent organization that doesn't kick puppies or something.

It is a charity aimed at helping kids who have suffered abuse in one way or another - http://www.nspcc.org.uk/

I will quite happily donate some money for this. Brilliant idea.

for me, childline is the charity. personal preference is all, and one he supported, I believe.

[Samuel]

We had the Childline logo on our OS didn't we?

[thehockleyhustler]

I believe he gave to both but if we all favour Childline then we will use them

[TucsonHooligan]

I'm in. I'll check back later when you guys get it sorted and have info on how to donate.

[Alexandro Garibaldi]

Good idea. And I don't think Childline kick puppies either!

If you want to set it up, Paul, I'll promote it on the main site and LTLF twitter feed

If we are all in agreement I will get onto it now.

[winnits]

Do it I'm in.

[JtheNorwegianRed]

Great initiative.

[Strummer]

Yeah, count me in too.

Very worthy cause and something dear to Nigel's heart, having given Childline £1m out of his own pocket.

Both charities have been quoted as being close to his heart so could the money be split? I don't know if its even possible to set up a Justgiving page where the money goes to two worthy causes but just a thought

Think it makes it more complicated - both fantastic causes, both important to him
- doesn't matter which we pick.

[T.B.T.]

A great idea.

Nigel gave so generously and helped to provide children with the opportunity to help themselves.

It is right that we contribute to continue his legacy.

Aren't they the same thing?

Go to childline website and click make a donation and it takes you to an NSPCC page

In which case, even better!

Yea they are one and the same as far as i know. Childline is just a part of what the NSPCC does.

Great idea, i'd definitely go for this.

[Rich]

Excellent idea.

Let me know if you want some help wording anything, Paul.

[JtheNorwegianRed]

- doesn't matter which we pick.

There are so many organizations that are well deserving of this recognition. We can only pick one, but they all have a similar objective - to help those in need.
I agree with Alan, it doesn't really matter which one we pick. Sometimes it really is the thought that counts.

Once again - Great initiative.

Things like this is why I love this forum, and the people in it.



In.

[uredsuns]

Could the page not be promoted before entering the actual forum too so everyone who enter the forum is aware of the worthy charity and reason behind it?

[Captain Sinister]

It is more usual to wait for the family to advise which organisation they would like tributes to go to.
Sensitivity please.
