RAISE MONEY WHILE YOU SHOP
If you buy anything online from major retailers like Amazon, Expedia, Marks & Spencer, John Lewis and Tesco, the Edinburgh Youth Gaitherin can receive a donation averaging around 2.5% of everything you spend. This doesn’t involve you paying any more, but you won’t be able to use any vouchers you have. Registering is easy…
Go to http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/
Top row, “Support a good cause”
Under “search for a cause”, enter “Edinburgh Youth Gaitherin”
Next screen “support this cause”
Register name, email address and create a password.

Now whenever you shop with the right retailer, you will be asked if you want to activate a donation. This comes from the retailer – not from you! Helping out in this way will make a huge difference to a charity which runs on a shoestring budget.
