Fundraising
TS Tiger is a registered Charity, No 521451
[buy.at] - [Yellow Moon] - [50 Club] - [Quiz Nights] - [Challenge Walk]
Without constant fundraising, donations from trust funds and from other organisations, TS Tiger would not be able to continue the work we do. In order to ensure the continued safety of Cadets we have this year installed a fire alarm system and also replaced aging fire extinguishers. This has once again placed a heavy financial burden onto the Unit which reduces the funds available to use on training aids etc for the benefit of the Cadets and also the general improvements to the unit and unit equipment i.e boats etc
2006 was a particularly difficult year with the need to improve the unit to meet current Electrical and Health & Safety requirements. On top of this replacement matresses have been purchased so that the cadets can sleep in clean and comfortable(ish) bunks, and this has placed a larger than usual financial burden upon the unit. We have tried this year to cut down on our regular outgoings and also taken steps to relieve any unwanted financial burdens thus freeing up funds for the cadets themselves. In an effort to make TS Tiger more self sufficient we have started various fundraising activities which we hope will bring in a steady income.
If you should wish to make a donation to TS Tiger, this can be done either directly by making a cash donation or by taking advantage of one of the fundraising efforts we have instigated.

buy.at/
buy.at/ is a simple concept. All online purchases via links on the page generate commission. Transactions by cheque or over the telephone (unless specified by the retailer, such as Laterooms) do not generate commission. At no time during the experience on the retailers' sites should you edit the web address in the address bar. This will disable the commission being earned.
When you click on any links you will be taken through to specific retailers' own websites. They are responsible for your order and credit card security.
It really is an excellent way to get some great online bargains, find cheaper gas and electricity services, and even book your holidays. They use some of the major high street shops and online stores.
So go on, top up your CD or DVD collection or, if you're making business purchases, why not make them from our webshop? For example, you can buy computer equipment from Novatech, great value broadband from BT or stationery from Euroffice. And there are plenty of offers on DIY products, clothing, magazine subscriptions and lots more from our high street names.
Use the search facility to compare a product name (e.g. kettle) with all of the retailers to help you find the best price.
