We have 191 registered users with Easyfundraising, and if they visit the Easyfundraising website before any online purchase, a small donation is made by the retailer to the Dale Trust. Overall, since we started our partnership with Easyfundraising, we have raised close to £3,000.
The breakdown of that £27.92 is listed below, and it shows just how easy it is to raise funds for the Trust.
£19.67 was raised from 3 hotel bookings (Accorhotels / IHG)
£1.36 was raised from 10 Amazon orders

80p was raised from 1 Cadburys order

£1.68 was raised from 3 Molton Brown orders

The important thing is making sure that Easyfundraising is used. There will have been many online purchases by the 191 members that could have raised funds for the Trust that haven’t done. It’s easy to forget, so Easyfundraising have come up with a “browser plug in” that reminds you each time you make a purchase. They have an App too if you tend to use a tablet / phone to make your purchases.
As always, we are not looking at making people pay more money than what they already are doing. If something is available cheaper from a non Easyfundraising company, go with that. But please give the Easyfundraising link a try first. It takes no time at all to register with them and it benefits the Trust massively if you do at no extra cost to yourself.
