You can also select the Debit/Credit Card button below Paypal and after a short period a slider will open where you can enter your details.

This is usually shown to people who have uploaded from their phone when they have the latest IOS and the settings have enabled file compression to save space on your phone.

We specify portrait photographs because of the design of our banner and our ability to fit everyone who donates onto the banner. It becomes very difficult for us and the designer if we have multiple sizes of photos.

When landscape photographs are submitted these have to be cropped by software. In this process we cannot guarantee they will show all the faces of the photo when cropped to a portrait layout.

The below image shows the difference between a portrait and landscape format.

Please drop us an email at [email protected] with a replacement portrait formatted photo and your order number, and we will replace the uploaded photo.
