We hope to make an announcement in the next few days regarding our Fundraising project for 2018-19 but in the mean time, we can announce that from 1st September 2018 until 31st August 2019, all funds raised through Easyfundraising will be donated to the project.
If you’ve never used Easyfundraising before, this is how it works. You register with Easyfundraising with Dale Trust as your chosen charity. Then you use the Easyfundraising Dale Trust link before searching for your online purchases, and the retailer will make a donation back to the Trust. Sometimes it can be as small as a couple of pence, but sometimes it can be several pounds. And the beauty of it is that it doesn’t cost you a single penny more than what you would have paid anyway.
And that’s allowed us to receive cheques like our most recent one, but it could be so much. We had close to 450 members last year but we have just 197 people signed up through Easyfundraising. There is potential for this to bring in thousands of pound to the Dale Trust if our members and Dale Supporters got into the habit of using Easyfundraising before every purchase.
There are thousands of companies associated through Easyfundraising, and all household names too. Whether you are shopping, booking a holiday, changing insurance, getting a new phone etc Pretty much anything involving money online is covered.
The full August breakdown is:
Accorhotels (1 purchase) – £2.91
Amazon (11 purchases) – £1.15
Clarks (1 purchase) – £3.56
Ebay (8 purchases) – £1.63
Jacamo (1 purchase) – 27p
Just Eat (3 purchases) – 38p
Photobox (1 purchase) – 14p

Should the members not back the project or the project not come off, the funds raised during this period will be given to a project which will benefit the local community.
