OUCH Membership?

I have been trying to find out how many subscription paying members of OUCH are currently registered as of March 2015. Can anyone please tell me?

Without being rude, why do you want to know?

Is it a secret? Don't I have a right to know as a financial supporter of the charity?

Well, Val, it would appear that you are unwilling to answer my question so, let me answer yours by explaining why I wanted the information.

I was considering donating some money to OUCH UK but, your response to my question has changed my mind.

Hi Phimo

Sorry I have not been on the forum for a few days, I've been holed up at home writing final essays for my degree, so I have only just seen your replies.  Its no secret how many members we have who are sufferers, its just that I was curious to know why you needed to know, I'm just bloody nosey and that's why I said without being rude! 

I'm not sure of the exact number of sufferers in the membership [some are supporters and family] but we have a membership of somewhere around 2,500 and its growing all the time.

Best wishes

Val.

hi phimo, ive read some of your posts and it sounds like you have gone through the ch mill with the nhs system at last you got there i hope, ive only had the injections 3weeks and get 6 at a time 3days so twice a week to docs and chemist, so still in that mill. you sound like a good person thats trying to give back to a good cause thats close to your heart, unfortionutly ouch is run by ch suffers and val is cronic, watch the video on the site you see val, im cronic as well and can have months of no break at all with meds, trying to think strate impossable alot of the time let alone run a charity. after being fobbed of by docs for 5years i get very short whit pepol some times wrongly. if you reply to me please be patent while i reply i do mean well, i think im trying to ask you to to be patent with ouch as well, where ever you give a donation to is an honerable act on your behalf considering what you bin through, if you can find a charity that deals with this level of pain and suffering thats close to your heart im sure thay will be very greatfull, all the verry best dh
