Shop Online and Raise Funds for Fosse Way School Trust

Easyfundraising is a shopping directory listing some of your favourite online stores including Argos, Amazon, Next, Boden, John Lewis, Toys R Us, HMV, M & S, Ebay and over 2000 others.  Just use the links 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 you make.  It really is that simple!

It’s completely FREE to register and you won’t pay a penny more for your shopping when you use the easyfundraising site.  In fact you can even SAVE MONEY as many retailers offer discounts, special offers and even ‘e-vouchers’ exclusive to easyfundraising.

So how does it work?
You shop directly with the retailer as you would normally, but if you sign up to http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/fossewaysch for free and use the links on the easyfundraising site to take you to the retailer, then a percentage of whatever you spend comes directly to us at no extra cost to yourself. 

How much can you raise?
Spend £100 with M&S online and you raise £5 for us.  £100 spent with Amazon raises £2.50, £100 with WH Smith puts £2.00 in our pocket and so on.  There are over 2,000 retailers on their site, and some of the donations can be as much as 15% of your purchase.
