Hi Chris, if I remember rightly that's about half our annual target - are we halfway or more into the campaign?
Re the Direct debits we seem to only be valuing them as one years donations, it might be worth putting a higher notional value n them as the average new direct debit is multi year income.
Gift Aid of less than 10% is disappointing, I estimate that as only half the signups that we should be getting. Might be worth testing some different mechanics and wording there.

In other fundraiser news, as of midnight the figures were: £494,000 pledged in total (exc Gift Aid) £317,000 of that already in the bank Projected Gift Aid on donations already made nearly £40,000
