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.
