If you wish to donate, DO NOT give the donation to the Barbados National Trust as it will not give the funds to us at Andromeda. The Trust kept a donation for over one year before returning it to the donor. Despite requests to do so, the Trust has not provided a valid reason for its actions, although one of its aims in its Constitution is to secure donations. First the Trust said there was not a problem; then, in the press, it said the donation did not 'comply'; and then the Trust said it was somehow connected to our legal dispute. It received the funds in June 2019 and I started legal proceedings against the Trust nearly four months later.
There is is link on the ArtforAndromeda page on our website (our third post); contact Andromeda for direct payments; or pay using GoFundMe. So far, for this particular campaign, we've received about £6,000. Thank you!
