The final advertisers

As cropped in the comments in the entry I made regarding the News of the World who exactly did end up advertising in the final edition.

Wellbeing of Women
Friendship Works
Enham
Medecins sans Frontieres
Five Talents
St John Ambulance
Pennies for Life
Sky Rainforest Rescue
The Well Foundation
DEC East Africa Crisis Appeal
New Family Social
Fresh2O
Childrens Heart Foundation
MyHIV
Mend
Row2Recovery
OneDifference
Matt Hampson Foundation
The Children's Trust
Bhubeshi Pride
Spana
SmileTrain
PEAS
World Horse Welfare

That's 24 charities and all the profit from this edition will go to "Barnado's, Forces Children's Trust and military care projects at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham". That's 74p of the £1 cover price.

A note was also added that the magazine was printed last week prior to the notice to close down. Advertisers in the glossy/fashion magazine:

Olay
L'Oreal Paris
Tesco Direct
Tesco
Boots
Tesco Direct (again)
Ribena
Superdrug
Nivea
Boots (again)
Jenny Craig
Vodafone
LG/Sky
Unilever Sure
O2
Sky

A bit of a difference (besides me not linking to any of them) anyway good on them for their final charity heavy edition; it's a good way to go out even if a part of me does cynically think it was done as a publicity ploy.
