Raising money can be tough. My friend recently told me how difficult she’d found it raising money for her daughter’s pre-school. They were desperate for new equipment for the children - the existing toys were looking pretty tired but as usual, there wasn’t any money in the budget to replace them.

Location, Location, Location

According to a new report from the Community Development Foundation, Norfolk people are the most generous in the UK when it comes to raising funds for local groups.

So what do you think? Does location matter when it comes to fundraising? Will you raise more depending on where your cause is based? It’s an interesting question and I feel sure easyfundraisers will have a lot to say about it.

While we have some amazing causes in Norfolk with incredibly passionate supporters shopping online with us, I can think of just as many in Scotland, Lancashire, Essex, Wales - well everywhere really!  Through shopping online and searching the web, easyfundraising members have together raised over £1.8 million for good causes all over the  UK – that’s what I call big society!

It’s a great accolade for the people of Norfolk and they should be rightly proud of being deemed the most generous but I guess what I am trying to say is that it doesn’t matter where you are – everyone, everywhere can make a difference.
