Between now and the end of the season, all funds raised through Easyfundraising will be passed on to the “Cloughie Statue Fund”.
Since we first started our partnership with Easyfundraising, a total of £4,274.53 has been raised for the Trust through this scheme, with approximately £400 to £500 raised each year. Whilst many Dale supporters have already contributed to the fund that now stands at over £9,000, this represents an additional way of raising money for the fund without costing you an additional penny.
If you’ve never used Easyfundraising before, they couldn’t be better named as there is no easier way of raising funds without it costing you anything more than you’d have paid anyway. Once you’ve registered at https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/daletrust/, you need to use Easyfundraising as your starting point for any online purchase. They are linked with hundreds of household names, and cover pretty much any purchase or service you might look for online whether that be shopping, insurance, phone contracts, holidays etc.
Following your purchase, the retailer will make a donation back to the Trust. Sometimes that donation might be a few pence, sometimes it might be a few pounds, but with over £4,200 raised over the years, it clearly adds up, and given we’re still under Lockdown restrictions with most shops all closed, its the perfect time to be raising money through Easyfundraising especially with the money going to such a worthy cause. As we often point out, teams such as Newport County have raised over £21,000 through Easyfundraising so there is real potential wit this.
