Donations site launched to support victims of Thatcher years

Donations site launched to support victims of Thatcher years: The death of Baroness Margaret Thatcher has prompted an outpouring of analysis of the former PM’s legacy, but one website is hoping to channel donations to charities dealing with beneficiaries most affected by her policies.

‘Don’t Hate, Donate’ was some months in the making, but went live yesterday following the news of the Tory peer’s death, from stroke at the age of 87. The website encourages individuals to “be the society Thatcher said didn’t exist” and donate to seven different charities, ranging from the Hillsborough Justice Campaign to Stonewall and the International Centre for Transitional Justice.
