There are tens of thousands aren't there. I'm sure a fiver will solve all their problems. Still I'm sure he'll love polishing his halo.

How pathetic 😂😂

what a wonderful thing to do, Patrick is such a kind and thoughtful person.

Over £200,000 now. Maggie Oliver Foundation has done so much for these poor girls and will continue to do so. Really worth reading the Charity Commission reports on here. 👍

Your post can easily be applied to any charity anywhere in the world.

I assume you are not in favour of charities and the excellent work they do…

The truth often isn't.

That’s not nice!

I for one trust these two people 100%, they have worked tirelessly for the victims of this horrendous crime. People like Maggie Oliver should be up an award, she is a true heroine.
Patrick has also raised a lot of money to help people that have had the WFA removed.

You can of course Google the charity to see what it's doing.

I think it's quite small from what little I've read - but it does pay one trustee for services.

I think I’d like to know where and how the money is going to be spent before donating. Is it a registered charity are there trustees?

Thank you for the link.
I will share this.
A worthy cause.

GB news viewers hearts are definitely in the right place. Well done Patrick.

Just about 9pm tonight Patrick Christys launched a fundraiser after talking to Maggie Oliver who was a Detective and was a lone voice talking about these grooming gangs in 41 areas of the country.

In 1.75 hours he has raised £146,000 and every penny will go to the survivors via the Maggie Oliver Foundation.

I say well done to him and all the viewers and listeners who have donated. This fund raiser continues until Friday.
