Why you can still Donate to The Secret Of Change
We have been delighted at the levels of support we have recieved for The Secret Of Change so far. Unfortunately, our crowdfunding efforts fell short of our minumum target of £13,000. We need another £5,981 to complete the documentary in the way we would like. This is why we are inviting anyone who has not yet contributed to visit The Secret Of Change homepage where you and still donate.
This is a completely non-profit production and our minimum £13,000 target will enable us to complete the documentary but will still fall a long way short of covering costs. In order to do this we would need to hit our upper target of £18,000 so you can see why we still need your help!
But hey, we knew it would be tough when we took it on and don't regret it for a second, we have loved every minute of making this series and if we can just raise enough to get it finished and share what we've discovered with the world it would be a HUGE success!
