silsden.net is financed through advertising (the banners you see on the site), but users of the forum can advertise items in "For Sale and Wanted" for free (if it's not for commercial gain).

Occasionally some people want to advertise a commercial item on the forum e.g. perhaps selling a house, renting a room or other items which are clearly part of a business or will have a commercial gain, but they do not want to pay for a banner. Now you can, by posting your business interests without having a banner, but I'm requesting you to make a donation to the charity Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Sometimes you may have something unwanted and want to give it away for free, but it will be worth something to someone - please consider asking for a small donation to go to Yorkshire Air Ambulance, and if you can use Gift Aid, it will make your donation worth an extra 25%

Whatever you do please give something.

You never know when your life, a friend's or relatives life might be saved by the speed of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
