Thought I'd ask about the love we're spreading over the South of Ireland, where giffgaff don't operate, yet Devon & Cornwall and the Scottish Isles are not getting any love at all (hearts graphic)

Are the donations made from members and giffgaff supporting projects in the Republic and if so, what percentage do they receive?

Could we have an update on the geographical extent of the goodybank scheme @roxy_r and if applicable by how much the ROI benefits from giffgaffer's donations?

I must confess that I find the way the goodybank activites are reported a little confusing.
I take it that the £1 Million is the total value of the neighborly fund, and of that £1 million giffgaff have contributed £35,000 plus member contributions?
I have no idea to what the £18,400 worth of meals relates, is this an additonal giffgaff contribution or the total that neighbourly have raised?
If I understand correctly the value of donation made by members into the giffgaff bank either for the neighbourly fund or to help other giffgaffers has not been updated since week 2 so does not include any donations after 1/5/20 and the ammount paid out to help fellow mwmbers has not so far been indicated.

Is my understanding correct or have I completely misunderstood?

jaymailsays Hi here is a breakdown of the data you asked for:

England: 81%
Scotland: 10%
Wales: 6%
Ireland (Northern + Southern) : 3%

ujo55 £1 million is the collective community fund where giffgaff, members, other brands and individuals are making the contribution. You can find all the information on the community fund here https://www.neighbourly.com/NeighbourlyCommunityFund

Thankyou Shaina, much appreciated.

shaina_k These are the results of the donations raised in week 2

We'll continue to share the progress and stories from the members and communities with you each week.
Thanks for you clarification.

We seem to be missing a week Shaina.
On 1/5/20 you published the figues up to end week 2 as per the above.
So now 2 weeks later we are presumably at the end of week 4 not week 3 as indicated.
Are the figures cumalative as you say data from Friday 15th May - I assume it should be to Friday 15th May, but on the 'hearts' it seems to suggest it to be a weekly figure.
Sorry not trying to be picky just trying to understand the true figures!

ujo55 Hi you are right the way we were calculating was that first week was the launch week and making weekly posts after that but technically in terms of donations it is the 4th week. It's all updated now.

Could you please clarify whether these are cumulative totals (i.e. £8518.78 / £4411 totals since goodybank started) or weekly totals. I'm guessing they are, but the headings "The total from week....." suggest they could be weekly totals, making the grand totals donated to date a lot higher.
