Watford Mencap registers with Easy Fundraising
Watford Mencap have now registered with www.easyfundraising.co.uk, so that you can help raise money for us just by shopping online at your favourite stores. There are more than 500 brand name retailers who are linked to Easy Fundraising, and by registering with easyfundraising.co.uk, you can ensure that up to 15% of the money you spend online goes to a charity of your choice. All you have to do is access your favourite sites by using the links from the Easy Fundraising page.
For instance, if you were to spend £25 at WH Smith, 3.5% of that cost would be donated. That’s 88p raised and at no extra cost to your purchase. If you insure your car at Direct Line, you will raise £30.00; and if you purchase a mobile phone from Vodaphone, you will raise £29.00. Remember- this service is free. Donating to your chosen charity will incur no extra cost, and buying online can often be less expensive than buying in store: many websites offer web-only discounts and special offers. For retailers, online costs are much lower than the cost of running a store, and therefore they are often are happy to help a good cause. Being affiliated with Easy Fundraising also introduces new customers and broadens their websites’ audience.
So if you’d like to raise money for us by shopping online, visit www.easyfundraising.org.uk and register with Watford Mencap. Happy Shopping!
