The Charities Buying Group is a new non-profit initiative designed to help charities
reduce overheads and lower costs. 
The Charities Buying Group has been set up by
disability charity Leonard Cheshire. Its free services are available to charitable
and not-for-profit organisations irrespective of size.

Michael J. Hodgetts, Director of Purchasing Services at Leonard Cheshire, said: “
already our member charities, ranging from single location charities through to 
organisations such as The World Wildlife Fund and The Royal British Legion have 
saved thousands of pounds.”

The Charities Buying Group (CBG) says its members can make savings of up to 30% 
on stationery, printing and reprographics, electricity supply and telephone calls
and other services.
