SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE<\/strong><\/p>\n

This website has been running now for just over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, but doesn’t cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox<\/a> where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.<\/p>\n

It’s very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.<\/p>\n

Whether its a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.<\/p>\n
