So we finish 2009 on a bit of a high - Gifts4Good has performed better than 2008 and we had a really good spread of charities receiving donations in the lead up to Christmas.
The rest of the year was tough, however. We were down on donations versus 2008 - although we continued to get lots of couples sign up with us for their wedding lists we have found that the average donation per guest has dropped dramatically. Given the current financial straits and/or uncertainty that many of us found ourselves in this is hardly surprising.
Looking forward we continue to believe that we'll be able to get more and more couples to register for their wedding list with one of our services and from there grow what we can generate for our participating charities. I'm not one for predictions so I won't forecast how we'll do this year, but I know we'll give it everything to keep growing.
