Generous support

I'm really pleased to announce that we have just received a cheque for £1,000 towards our anti-EDL appeal from our good friends at Philosophy Football. We have worked closely with PF over the years and will do in the future.

If you would like to support our anti-EDL, which has already seen over 10,000 people in Bradford sign a petition calling on the Home Secretary to ban the march of hate, you can do so here

Here's what Philosophy Football had to say:

PUTTING OUR MONEY WHERE ARE T-SHIRTS ARE

At www.philosophyfootball.com we are hugely proud to produce the 'Hope not Hate' T-shirts in support of the campaign. Its an initiative that has helped popularise this most vital of messages and raised funds too. And we've put our design skills to good use too. When Hope not Hate wanted a banner to decorate their campaign HQ in Barking we were happy to come up with the idea, produced and pay for it. Nobody could have failed to notice the banner who visited the office to take part in the campaign against the BNP.

So when we heard of Hope not Hate's incredible effort to stop the EDL march of hate in Bradford we wanted to help immediately. This is a campaign that is uniting a city, creating an incredible breadth of opposition to a gang of thugs intent on one thing only, causing violent division.

Raising much needed funds at the height of the holiday season to help ensure the campaign can reach out to everyone in Bradford can't be easy but its an urgent necessity. So we've dug deep and are chipping in £1000. The cheque is in the post and we'd encourage all who want to add the defeat of the EDL in Bradford to the defeat of the BNP in Barking to make it a miserable year for the Far Right to chip in too.

And our Hope not Hate T-shirts will keep spreading the message, and raising funds for as long as its needed, from www.philosophyfootball.com
