On Friday, Shared Interest staff got together for a wee celebratory drink and nibbles to mark that fact that our share capital topped the £26 million mark.

Paul Sharpe, our Supporter Relations Manager, emailed staff from his work trip in Kenya to say,“thank you to everyone for their contribution in meeting our target for this year. It is a fantastic achievement to have raised an additional £500k on last year’s performance, particularly during a global recession”.

We even managed to save some cake for those staff members who couldn’t be with us.

Roll on £27 million – you can never have too much cake.
