		<description>Joanne,&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I tried to do that, obviously, but it says it is not an active campaign. That is what I am seeing, I hope no-one else is.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description>

		<description>Hmm..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just a suggestion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Perhaps some of the blogs that agree with what you are doing could have donation buttons?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;d stick it on mine, and perhaps Sunny could stick it on his. ( No, there is no equivalence...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Admit I have no idea how a donation button works and it would have to go directly to you without me being involved whatsoever.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;d still like to know the extent you were led up the garden path, and what other money you were refused based on a promise that wasn&#039;t fulfilled? For that seems outrageous.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Was any of it on hold from Wales or Scotland for instance?</description>

		<description>Joanne,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sorry, I&#039;ve now lost the plot on which is your preferred name.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This has got to be a heck of a blow for a small charity. There is a wide range of opinion, well Rumbold and me - and you can&#039;t get much wider than that - that think your charity has been very badly treated.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you could suggest what could be done about it, in terms of protest or the like?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Or could others that have something to contribute please do so?</description>

(I do wonder how the sum of Â£84,000 compares to the salary of the civil servant who made the decision.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Je suis la Galloise Blonde.

		<description>Ironically, one of the purposes of the Campaigning Research Fund was to help smaller  charities to get their voices heard. The Ministry&#039;s decision to shelve this funding, taken after it had already been awarded, is just odd. They set up a quango to decide which charities would b recipients, and for months they, and we, have been preparing bids and working hard, and in some cases being rejected for other funding streams because of the promise of CRF cash. The reversal is goes against the Government&#039;s own Compact for working with charity. There&#039;s a fair bit of opposition to this move from the voluntary sector, including a petition at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.louder.org.uk/OTScampaign&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.louder.org.uk/OTScampaign&lt;/a&gt;...</description>
