Easy Fundraising

We’re using easyfundraising, a free fundraising platform that allows us to earn money when we shop online. Easyfundraising works with over 7,000 online retailers, everyone from Tesco, eBay, Sports Direct, M&S, Deliveroo, Just Eat, Booking.com, and everything in between. Once signed up all you need to do is start your shopping journey at the easyfundraising website, use the donation reminder or app (information will be provided when you register) and the retailer you shop with will send us a donation based on how much you spend. This isn’t about asking you to spend more, but to make you aware that if you are making an online purchase anyway that by using easyfundraising you can donate to The Lace Guild at the same time and at no additional cost.
