Would you be willing to give up TWO MINUTES of your time to help raise funds for the Timberscombe Play Area at no cost to yourself?

Do you order online from stores like Amazon, PC World, M and S, E Bay, Dell, John Lewis, Viking Direct, HMV, Staples, AA, Currys, Lands End, or any of 500+ other top stores?

If the answer to these two questions is yes then read on !

www.easyfundraising.org.uk is an organisation which has persuaded 500+ top online stores to donate an average of 2.5% of your online purchases to a charity of your choice, at no cost to you. To start raising money for your charity all you have to do is:

Go to www.easyfundraising.org.uk

Click on “login” and then create an account by selecting “support a good cause”

Select the Play Area by typing “ John Arlott Playing Field”

Complete your name, address, e-mail address and chose a password.

Click on “accept and register”

AND THAT’S IT !

Each time you want to shop online go to www.easyfundraising.org.uk

Type in your e-mail and password. (This can be saved so you don’t even need to type this)

Search for the store you wish to buy from.

You will be taken to the stores normal website. 

If you make a purchase the store will automatically credit your chosen charity with the money it owes them. You need do nothing !

Why not put  www.easyfundraising.org.uk on your favourites page. Use it every time you buy online and make a real different to your chosen charity. It doesn’t matter where you live so why not ask your friends and relatives to register and help us too?

Two different people in Wootton Courtenay have received emails appearing to come from Veronica Clegg, asking for help to buy an Amazon gift card.

These emails are fake and should be ignored.

It is assumed that if you did buy a gift card you would then be asked to send it onwards to someone who would be the perpetrator of the fake emails.

The fake emails have come from a gmail account, whereas Veronica’s actual email address is with Yahoo.

I am the local Fundraising Manager at CLIC Sargent. I’m getting in touch to say a massive thank you for your collection at the Lion Inn. I hear it was raised in the form of a swear jar! Well, I’m happy to report that it has raised £112.44 worth of swear words on its recent collection! This could pay for a family to stay for free, in one of our ‘Homes from Home’ for three nights, enabling them stay close to where their child receives cancer treatment. The money will be recorded towards Duncan’s Support Me Fund.

I’m so sorry to hear that Covid has had an affect on the pub’s ability to reopen. I do hope things improve for you and you’re able to be open soon.

Thank you again for supporting CLIC Sargent and young lives v cancer.
