If for any reason the £5,000 total is not matched on any Wednesday by 6pm, then the remaining amount will be added on to the next Wednesday’s total available for matching. So, the full £25,000 will be given away.
Virgin Money Giving say that any qualifying donation will be matched by the Friday of the following week. Also, the amount that they will match is exclusive of Gift Aid.
