It’s coming up to the time of the year when the shops get really hot and busy, you are fed up of hearing Jingle Bells everywhere you go and online shopping looks so appealing. You know which online stores you want to go to and it’s time to get buying…
Sound familiar? Then here’s how you can help GWL with no extra expense.
It takes just a few minutes to go to the Easy Fundraising website and register, choosing Glasgow Women’s Library as your charity. Then every time you shop online GWL could benefit at no extra cost to you!
The only thing you have to do for GWL to receive a donation from the 2000 plus participating companies is:
- log in to your account at http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/
- use their links to company websites (see the categories section on the left hand side or the popular links section on the right-hand side)
- carry on buying as you normally would – you need do nothing more!
Examples of money we could receive include:
- Amazon – 2.5% of what you spend (so for every £10 you spend GWL gets 25 pence and you pay nothing extra)
- Waterstones – 2.5%
- Marks & Spencers – 2.5%
- Argos – 1.5%
- Boots – 3%
- Play.com – 1%
- HMV – 2%
…and many, many more. It may not sound like a huge amount but every penny really counts!
Even better – if you are thinking of changing your energy supplier, broadband supplier or your car, house, travel, even pet insurance, GWL could receive quite substantial amounts of money ranging from £5 to £55 pounds! Have a look and see whether your preferred provider will give GWL a donation when you switch – the chances are they will.
Finally some companies will make donations to GWL when you sign up for things like a 14 day free trial for Lovefilm (£5.00 donation) or register on Ebay (£4.50 donation). Click on the Free Funds tab near the top of the page.
Please take the time to sign up if you can and remember to log in to your favourite shopping sites via http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/ each time you shop. You really could make a difference!
And don’t worry if you are not in the position to help us through online shopping. If you make http://gwl.easysearch.org.uk/ your search engine (instead of Google or similar search sites) then you can still raise money for us just by doing a few searches every day.
