Huge thanks to all who've contributed to our crowdfunder.
If we reach £10,000 this will relieve pressure to raise 💷elsewhere for redundancy pay, avoiding debt & enabling the company to go dormant - thereby making a future re-launch more feasible.

*What's Planet's crowdfunder for?*
Our crowdfunder is for many core costs including author fees!
Following successive funding cuts & other pressures these are modest, but it's vital that we can reward our authors for their excellent work & maintain a diverse author base.
We're very grateful for every contribution, whatever is within your budget! ➡️https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/planet-the-welsh-internationalist-magazine/x/30344193#/
Here is one of our authors, Eluned Gramich, speaking at our 50th anniversary bash on what Planet means to her & why it's important to support our crowdfunder.
Many thanks Eluned!
Please share.
📢*Crowdfunder launch!*
We're launching this crowdfunder for core costs after grant cuts were followed by financial challenges from pandemic & rising costs➡️ https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/planet-the-welsh-internationalist-magazine#/
Despite these challenges, we have lots of exciting ideas for how the magazine can further develop, and with your help, and with our experience in finding innovative ways to overcome adversity, are confident we can get through these challenges – as we have weathered previous storms over the last half century.
Here's a video from a Planet writer at our 50th anniversary event on why Planet is so important to them! *Sound on* 😊
Many thanks to Peter Stevenson & all at the event who contributed videos and reflections in our guestbook - it's really appreciated!
