Each of these brands will donate a different amount to your charity or good cause if
you buy through the easyfundraising charity shopping platform. Smaller or
grassroots charities can particularly benefit from any shopping done via the
easyfundraising website or app.
James Moir, the CEO of easyfundraising, says: “Christmas may seem like a long
way off but there’s never been a better time to start planning for the celebrations.
“September starts the festive season off for many retailers and brands, and instead
of waiting for the rush closer to the day, you can already grab a great buy and have
everything sorted months ahead.
“But don’t forget before you buy to check out easyfundraising as the platform is
offering free cash to charities if you purchase using the website.
“That means, when budgets are restrained and the cost-of-living crisis continues,
any extra cash a good cause or charity gets will be vital. And I want to stress, it won’t
cost you a penny extra or add anything to your bill.”
