7 Mar 2008 - The Giving Machine - help our school while you shop!

We know a growing number of you and your friends shop online. So All Saints (Marsh) has teamed up with TheGivingMachine™ to generate cash donations for us, every time you shop online ... and the real beauty of it is that it won’t cost you anything apart from the extra click to go via www.thegivingmachine.co.uk into the online shop.

Every purchase generates a cash donation and it all adds up quickly to a significant amount. It is estimated that 1000 online shoppers ‘donating for free’ to All Saints (Marsh) via TheGivingMachine™ would generate around £15,000 - £20,000 a year.

You’ll find more than 100 different shops at TheGivingMachine™ including all your favourite high street names.

All you need to do before you do any online shopping with the linked companies is set up an account.  This is easily done (I’ve just done it myself!) by going to the website and clicking on ‘Create an Account’, then putting in your own log on details and finally choosing our school as a beneficiary.  Then all you do is shop, and funding comes back to us without you spending a penny more!  When you are ready to do some shopping just login to The Giving Machine website first, and then go to ‘Shop’ and click on the store you will be using e.g. Amazon and it will take you directly to the site as usual, but we’ll get something back.  Thank you to the Friends’ for noticing this seemingly painless way of fundraising in the recent NAPTA magazine.  Happy spending!
