Hi all, I’m Phoebe and I organise the Bristol Mandarin Chinese Meetup. This is a social group for Mandarin speakers, we meet regularly for food and socials. The group is hosted on Meetup.com which charges around £30 a month for use of the platform.

huge thanks to everyone that donated towards the fees in January. I’ve just been billed for the next 6 months and unfortunately even with event donations I’m about £100 short!

I would really appreciate any donations towards this amount to keep the group running; although I ask people to contribute £2 for every event it doesn’t quite cover costs at the moment. I never make a profit from this group and often have to put my own money towards keeping it going which is turning out to be quite expensive!

If I receive enough donations via this fundraiser or by donations at events then I will make the events free of charge. Thanks so much
