Hi - second tweet ever! Just to let you know what the fund has been up to since our launch in November. Through the sales of the book and several large donations we have built quite a war chest. We have also been spending it! Several people have applied for help - it seems...

A brilliant reminder of why we are still here. @thetimes capture the maddening bureaucracy of the compensation schemes run by the @PostOffice. (shame it is behind their pay wall) #PostOfficeScandal

Team HSF were flying the flag again at the @bathhalf yesterday. We all finished, some much quicker than others, but best of all was the support we received from the crowd and fellow runners as we made our way round.

Well, we did it. A warm day, so tougher than expected, but crossed the line in 2hrs 13 minutes. Thanks to all who have supported us so far. We're still accepting donations - each one helps to ease the aching limbs. donorbox.org/hsf-bath-half #postofficescandal #bathhalf

Replying to @HSFforSPMs
… and whilst we will need to be satisfied each applicant is genuine and the grants are being used for the purpose stated, there is NO massive form-filling to be done. We are a small and friendly charity and we are here to help! [email protected] #PostOfficeScandal
