Did you know that smile.amazon.co.uk no longer exists so you can't make donations to charities that way?

A lot of people want to give to charity, but sometimes it just doesn’t happen. Often this comes down to time and money. Donating whilst you shop is a super simple way to feel good whilst buying online, without any extra cost to you. Smile.amazon.co.uk was possibly the most famous one, but stopped at the beginning of this year.

How can I donate through shopping instead?

The good news is that you can still support charities, including Volunteer Centre Sutton, through easyfundraising. It’s super quick and FREE to give to charity. Whenever you buy anything online – from your weekly shop to your annual holiday, phone and car insurance – you could be raising all important donations for Volunteer Centre Sutton.

Who can I make a donation with?

There are over 7,000 brands on board ready to make a donation – including eBay, Argos, John Lewis, ASOS, Booking.com and M&S – and it won’t cost you a penny extra to help us raise funds.

Here's an example of what you could donate if you use it when buying your insurance.

Great! How do I sign up?

All you need to do is:

Click here and join for FREE.

You can also download the App from the App Store directly onto your phone or ipad and search for us "Volunteer Centre Sutton". You then have the option to switch on the Donation Reminder.

Whether using your phone or laptop, if you add the Donation Reminder, it will pop up when you’re on the website of a retailer that’s already partnered with easyfundraising. This will allow you to by-pass going through the easyfundraising app or website each time that you shop.

If you choose not to use the reminder, simply go to easyfundraising first to find the site you want and start shopping.

After you’ve checked out, the brand will make a donation to Volunteer Centre Sutton at no extra cost to you whatsoever!

Is it possible to support more than one cause with easyfundraising?

You can only give to one cause at a time with easyfundraising. You need to select your chosen charity before you shop. You can change your cause as many times as you want.

Is easyfundraising really free?

You don’t pay any fees when you shop with easyfundraising. Once you’ve bought something online, the donation is provided by the retailer as either a flat free or percentage of your purchase. The purchase price for you remains exactly the same.

There are no catches or hidden charges and Volunteer Centre Sutton will receive your donation immediately. These donations really mount up and will make a BIG difference.

Any difficulties you have, get in touch with Jane, our Fundraising and Bid Writing Officer at janecochrane@vcsutton.org.uk.

Please take a moment to sign up and support us, we would be so grateful.

Thank you so much!
