The Edinburgh, Lothians and Borders May Day organising group is grateful for all the trade union branch donations and individual contributions to the collection at the rally that together made it possible to hold the May Day events. Here is the current summary of income and expenditure – there are a couple more union donations still to come in and we’ll add them when they arrive.
This year we ended up with a small surplus but costs are rising fast.
