March £217.09
April £81.60
May £106.59
June £61.07

Spreadsheet updated and here is a link to show savers their progress so far. As I said further up the page next year this challenge will be taken on to the main board so I will not be running it. Please check out the 1p challenge test board to get an idea of how it will be run next year.

Hiya yes, the May one should be £89.59… I accidentally posted an additional £17 in here in error. Total is definitely £590.40.
Sorry for the confusion 😶
