So what is it?………………… 

 

Easyfundraising is a fantastic new website where you can raise funds for 3rd/5th Lancing Sea Scouts Group simply by shopping online! Over 500 well-known retailers are featured including Next, Amazon, Dell, John Lewis, M&S, HMV and Debenhams and many more. All you have to do is use the links provided on the easyfundraising site whenever you shop online and, at no extra cost to you, we'll receive a free donation of up to 15% from every purchase that you make!

  

You still shop as normal and the scheme doesn't cost anything extra. Many participating retailers even offer additional discounts and money-saving eVouchers when you shop using  easyfundraising.

  

There is also easysearch (an add-on to easyfundraising) which also raises funds for our Group – all you have to do is search on the Internet !

Frequently asked Questions
  
  
Why do retailers make free donations? 

 
It seems very generous, but when you buy online costs are much lower. As there's no shop, salesperson, heating, electricity, rates, not even the cost of the bag to put your goods in, retailers are more than happy to help good causes when new 'online' customers are introduced to them via our website. 

 

Will I pay anything extra? 
  
No. You pay the same prices exactly as if you visited each retailer's website directly. Using our service will not cost you a penny more than you would pay normally. 

 

How much can I raise? 
  
Up to 15% of every purchase is donated, depending on which retailer you select and what you buy. The exact donation that will be paid is displayed directly next to each retailer listing. With some categories such as mobile phones and insurance there is a cash value. If a retailer offers more than one donation, or if there is any special information about the retailer, please click the image  

 

Who can benefit? 
  
Any group or good cause can benefit from using our service, however large or small. We hope you will choose 3rd/5th Lancing Sea Scout Group.
  

 

Am I dealing with the retailer or with easyfundraising?
  
 You still deal directly with each retailer. We simply record your visit to their website and reward your selected cause if you make any purchases.
