As I am sure you are aware, the
club is continually in need of funds and we have found a way in which you
can help this effort, at no cost to yourself.
An organisation known as
easyfundraising provides a free service where you can shop with your
favourite online stores and at no extra cost raise funds for the club. You
still shop directly with each retailer as you would normally, but simply
by using the links from their site first, each purchase you make will
generate a cashback donation.
For example, spend £25 with WH Smith and 3.5% will be donated. You will
have raised £0.88, at no extra cost to your purchase. Make any purchase
from Amazon and 2.5% will be donated. Insure your car with Direct Line and
raise £35.00, or purchase a mobile phone from O2 and earn £17.50, and so
on.
You can shop with 2000+ Brand Name retailers and to raise funds you just
use the links from the site first - it's that simple!
If you ALREADY shop online, why not help at no extra cost, from purchases
you would make anyway.
You can also raise money by using
the search engine easysearch
Easysearch is a new charity search engine where you can raise funds,
simply by surfing the Web!
When you search online using easysearch, you'll raise funds for the club
with every search you make. By making just 10 searches a day with
easysearch instead of Google or any other search engine you can raise
around £20 a year, just through your normal web searching!
As well as helping you to raise funds, easysearch also provides the best
search results. Today, the Internet is so big that different search
engines will often return different results for the very same search. So,
they have combined the results from several major search engines - Yahoo!,
Bing, Ask.com, MIVA and many more - to make easysearch a 'super' search
engine. easysearch tracks down the most relevant and accurate search
results from across the Web, which means you'll find what you're looking
for quickly and easily every time - in one 'easy' search!
easysearch is completely free to use, so this is a great way to support
the club - just by searching the Web as you do already!
Some questions you may wish to ask:
Why do retailers support such fundraising?
It seems very generous, but when you buy online the cost to the
retailer is much lower. As there's no shop, salesperson, heating,
electricity, rates, not even the cost of the bag to put your goods in,
retailers are more than happy to help good causes when new online
customers are introduced to them via the website. Please note that the
club receives 100% of the donation. E.g. the donation rate for M&S is 5%
of all spend, so your chosen good cause will receive 5p for every £1
spent.
Will I pay anything extra?
No. You pay the same prices exactly as if you visited each retailer's
website directly. Using this service will not cost you a penny more than
you would pay normally.
How much can I raise?
Up to 15% of every purchase is donated, depending on which retailer
you select and what you buy. The exact donation that will be paid is
displayed directly next to each retailer listing. With some categories
such as mobile phones and insurance there is a cash value. If a retailer
offers more than one donation, or if there is any special information
about the retailer, please click the image.
Am I dealing with the retailer or with easyfundraising?
You still deal directly with each retailer. Easyfundraising simply
record your visit to their website and reward your selected cause if you
make any purchases.
Save money
Many retailers give exclusive 'Internet-only' discounts, special
offers and even money saving 'eVouchers' to easyfundraising members, so as
well as raising funds, you can also use the site to save money.
