We’re excited to let you know that we’re now using Easyfundraising to help raise free funds for our cause, and we’d love your support! Whenever you shop online, you can raise free donations for us, at no extra cost to you.

It’s quick and easy to set up. Use our unique link below to get started!

Every time you shop online with over 8,000 retailers, including Amazon, Tesco, Argos, John Lewis, M&S, eBay and Booking.com. Those retailers will donate a small percentage of your purchase to our cause. It doesn’t cost you a penny extra, but it makes a huge difference to us.

🧩 What It Is

Easyfundraising is a UK-based fundraising platform that helps people raise money for good causes when they shop online.

It connects shoppers, retailers, and charities or community groups so that free donations are created — without anyone paying extra.

💡 How It Works — Step by Step

1. Sign up and choose a cause

  • Go to www.easyfundraising.org.uk and create a free account. Or click on our personal link: https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/support-a-good-cause/step-1/?char=392114&invite=zre5ym&referral-campaign=c2s&utm_campaign=web-referral

  • Choose a cause to support — it could be:

    • A registered charity (like Cancer Research UK)

    • A local club (such as a football, dance or cricket club)

    • A school or PTA

    • A community group (for example, a scout group or church)

  • If your cause isn’t listed yet, you can even register a new one.

2. Shop online as usual (but via Easyfundraising)

  • Before shopping, go to the Easyfundraising website, or use their browser extension or mobile app.

  • There are over 8,000 retailers that partner with them — including:

    • Amazon

    • John Lewis

    • Tesco

    • Argos

    • eBay

    • Booking.com

    • Marks & Spencer

  • Click the retailer’s link on Easyfundraising, which takes you directly to their website.

That click is tracked (using cookies), so the retailer knows you came through Easyfundraising.

3. Retailer gives a small donation

  • When you make a purchase, the retailer pays Easyfundraising a commission (a small percentage of the sale value).

  • Instead of keeping it, Easyfundraising passes 100% of that commission to your chosen cause as a donation.

The donation rate varies — for example:

  • Around 0.5% to 2% for most online shopping

  • Sometimes higher for travel bookings or insurance

4. Donations add up over time

  • Each time you or other supporters shop through Easyfundraising, more donations are collected.

  • Once your cause reaches a certain amount (usually £15 or more), Easyfundraising transfers the money directly to them — often every quarter.

🏆 Example

Let’s say you’re supporting Oakwood Primary School PTA:

  • You sign up and choose that cause.

  • You buy £100 worth of items from Argos through Easyfundraising.

  • Argos gives a 2% donation (£2).

  • Easyfundraising sends that £2 to Oakwood PTA — free money for them, no extra cost to you.

Thank you, we appreciate all the support we receive!
