Easy Fundraising? Raise money for Let Us Shine as you shop!
With so many of us doing our shopping online now, it's easy to raise money for your favourite
charity as you shop - at no extra cost to yourselves or us!
How does it work?
You still shop directly with each retailer, but simply by using the links from our site first, each purchase you make generates a cashback donation to the charity!
Example: If you buy anything from Amazon via our easyfundraising page you earn 2.5% each time, so a £25 spend would bring in 68p for the charity. That may be at the lower scale, but everything from 8p to £30 counts! Signing up to a new pay monthly contract with Vodafone earns £25 for Let Us Shine.
What sort of things do I buy that earn cashback for Let Us Shine on?
Books; Clothes; Electrical Equipment; Flowers; Games; Groceries; Insurance; Mobile Phones; Music; Tickets & Events; Travel; Wine - the list is endless!
With over 2000 retailers registered with EasyFundraising.org, it's likely you've shopped with many of them before. You can continue to do so and make a important contribution to Let Us Shine at the same time!
How do I sign up?
It takes less than a minute to register. Follow this link and you can sign up, and start earning cashback for the charity immediately!
Organise a fundraiser at your local sport centre, school or park
From badminton competitions to zumba classes, to organising a cross-country run at your local park, there is a huge array of activities that you can organise which would grab the public's attention and generate publicity, while also raising much needed funds for Let Us Shine.
Participate in a 10k, marathon or sponsored bike ride
Since Let Us Shine was founded in 2006, a number of our supporters have taken part in high-profile running events. For instance, in 2010 Sarah and Alban Higgins flew all the way to New York to run the New York Marathon, and managed to raise over £4000 for Let Us Shine.
Raising money for charity with minimum physical effort!
While they are great fundraising events; running marathons, cycling 50 miles or abseiling down tall buildings aren't everyone's idea of fun. There's a number of alternative activities which don't require the same physical exertion before, during or after the event: car boot sales; run a car wash service; cofee mornings; school fashion shows; jumble sales and; sponsored silences are always popular!
Sell your unwanted clothes, music, antiques, or anything else you think others might want!
Old-fashioned car boot sales or jumble sales are always a useful way of raising money for your favourite charity. The 'modern' alternative is to sell your unwanted items online via eBay. Let Us Shine are registered with eBay, so you can choose how much of each sale goes towards the charity.
