Title: Raise money for Friends of Marple Memorial Park as you shop on-line
Post by: admin on July 29, 2013, 03:48:43 PM: An Easy Way To Raise Funds for Marple Memorial Park

Do you shop online? Did you know that every time you buy something you could be raising money for Friends of Marple Memorial Park?

That’s right - over 2400 well known retailers including Amazon, M&S, Boden, Waitrose, House of Fraser, Vodafone, Virgin Atlantic and many more, will donate a percentage of what you spend to Friends of Marple Memorial Park! when you shop with them, via fundraising website easyfundraising.org.uk

An Easy Way To Raise Funds - It’s like nectar but instead of earning points, each purchase generates a donation. So instead of going directly to a retailer’s website, go to easyfundraising first and choose the retailer you want to shop with – then everything you spend with that retailer earns a free donation for Friends of Marple Memorial Park. It’s completely free to use and your shopping won’t cost you a penny more.

On average, each retailer will donate 5% of the cost of your shopping - and those donations soon mount up.

So whatever you need to buy, from your weekly grocery shop or fashion must-have, to your business travel, office supplies or mobile phone, buy it via easyfundraising and raise money for Friends of Marple Memorial Park at no extra cost to you!

As well as following this link you can also click the banners that have recently been added on this forum (top right), on the Marple Website home page or on the Friends of the Park web site.

There is also a neat application you can install called the "Find and Remind toolbar" that highlights the web sites that will earn money for Friends of the Park when you visit them or they appear in your search results.

Well in that case they better get into online shopping and delivery. They need to compete not sit in their shops waiting for the door to open
