Two cheques

We've now had two cheques from www.easyfundraising.org.uk and there' still more money to come.  So long as more than £15 has been earned in each 3-month period, St Duthac's will be sent a cheque for the amount.  

Watch out for special offers, bargains and ways to raise funds without making a purchase.

Bring in the pennies while you surf

If you're addicted to surfing the net, here's a way you can raise some funds for the restoration.  When you search online using easysearch, you'll raise funds for your chosen cause with every search you make. By making just 10 searches a day with easysearch instead of Google or any other search engine you can raise around £20 a year for your cause, just through your normal web searching!

To make it easier, you can set it as your homepage and use easysearch from your brower by following the links on the left-hand side of the easysearch page.

Raise funds when shopping online

Do you shop online?  If you do, here's a way to earn some funds without spending an extra penny. You pay exactly the same price as on the retailers' main sites, often lower than on the high street.   The commission earned comes out of the retailers' profit margin - it is their marketing spend.

All you do is use either

www.easyfundraising.org.uk

or

www.buy.at/stduthacs

In easyfundraising.co.uk, you need to choose St Duthac's - Dornie as the organisation you support when you register. 

After that, any shopping you do through these websites will earn commission and you'll see how much each retailer gives beside their name.  The two sites have some different retailers but many the same, including Marks and Spencer, Next, Littlewoods, Amazon, etc.  So when you shop, you can add to St Duthac's funds without any extra effort.

Online insurance

And it's not just shopping that can raise funds.  If you're buying house or car or other insurance online, it's worth checking whether the insurer you use offers a donation.  Most of the big names are part of easyfundraising and offer from £12.50 up to £40 donation.

Got a query

There's been a few different questions about using these sites, so hopefully this information will help.

Easyfundraising

You should see how much you've raised within 30 days of your purchase.  If you don't, then go to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page and it will tell you what to do.

Even if you've already got an account with the retailer, so long as you're logged into the Easyfundraising webpage and use it to go to the retailer's website, it will track your purchases.  There is also a Settings Checker which will check your computer to see that the security software allows the tracking to happen.
