EasyFundraising News

Between January and March 2013, Bedworth Disabled Swimming Club raised £24.89 for club funds, with EasyFundraising. Many thanks to everyone who helped us raise this. For more information on how EasyFundraising works, please see below:

An Easy Way To Raise Funds

Do you shop online? Did you know that every time you buy something you could be raising money for Bedworth Disabled Swimming Club?

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 Bedworth Disabled Swimming Club! when you shop with them, via http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/bedworthdsc

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 Bedworth Disabled Swimming Club. 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 Bedworth Disabled Swimming Club at no extra cost to you!
