YMCA Children’s Bereavement Service have signed up with EasyFundraising, an innovative Website where thousands of people are raising money for charities every time they shop.

Looking for local support
YMCA Children’s Bereavement Service are really hoping local people will log on and support them.
With British shoppers set to spend a staggering £39 billion online this year alone, Kelly Burke from YMCA Isle of Wight is keen for as many people as possible to sign up, “In the current financial climate we know that every penny counts so we’re not asking people to donate, just to shop online as they normally would. Almost all of us shop online these days so what could be easier than raising funds simply by making the purchases you make anyway?”
Featuring over 2000 of the UK’s most popular retailers including M&S, Argos, Boden, Tesco and many more, easyfundraising has already helped UK charities raise over £3 million. As well as raising funds, the free to use website also gives shoppers access to hundreds of offers, discounts, vouchers and free delivery codes that they won’t find elsewhere.
To support YMCA Children’s Bereavement Service, please visit the official website and follow the instructions.
