Donations for Ukraine

A voluntary payment option for my Substack

Somewhat to my surprise, I have been given a number of totally unsolicited payments for my Substack which is subscription free. This is hugely flattering and I am enormously grateful.

On that basis, I have decided to give a payment option for subscribers, but to be clear any payments will remain optional. I started this Substack to share my thoughts, not as a moneymaking venture, and remain grateful to anyone who thinks it worth spending some of their time reading them.

However, as some are generous enough to offer some money, I will take it - but not for me. Any and all payments made will go to a Ukrainian NGO, the Ukrainian PR Army.

As any of you who have looked at my LinkedIn profile will have seen I am an advisor to this brilliant group who self-mobilised to support their country following the second Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2023.

As an independent group who were professional communicators in civilian life, they have done a brilliant job highlighting their country's battle for continuing independence against Russian aggression. In particular their focus on Russian forcible deportion of Ukrainian adults and children helped the issue gain worldwide attention.

I already support this group, and any donations on this Substack will go first to my account and then passed 100% to them.

As I said above, there will be no obligation to pay for a subscription - I am very happy to have you even read what I have to say - but if you are so minded then a paid subscription will be in effect a donation to Ukraine and the PR Army.

My thanks for being a subscriber, regardless of whether you pay or not. Slava Ukraini.
