Look at the links;

There is a fund

Money for the Spanish miners and their families can now be donated directly to the Spanish Miners Solidarity Committee fund by bank transfer to:

SMSC
Co-op Bank
Sort Code: 08-92-99
Account Number: 65568150

Cheques are also still perfectly acceptable!

Please make them payable to "Spanish Miners' Solidarity Committee" and send them to:

John Cunningham (SMSC), 136 Regent Court, Bradfield Road, Sheffield S6 2BW, South Yorkshire.

This is the only UK-based fund officially recognised by the Spanish miners’ unions, the CCOO and UGT.
