“A BIG thank you to all my readers and supporters over the last year who’ve purchased a copy of Louisa’s Lament or made a donation. It was my absolute pleasure to present this enormous cheque at their 200th Anniversary Celebration at Mansion House.

Your kind donations will go the College Student Support Fund to assist Birkbeck students who have experienced an unforeseen change of circumstance in their personal situation such as redundancy, illness or domestic problems.

It was a wonderful evening, especially Princess Anne’s oration and the cutting of the anniversary cake.”
