Over 2,500 charitable groups have signed up to easyfundraising, enabling their supporters
to raise funds for them simply by shopping online. easyfundraising has processed
over 40,000 charitable donations since its launch in October 2005.

David Butler of easyfundraising said, easyfundraising.org.uk is designed to help
charities and voluntary organisations raise much needed funds just by shopping online.
It is often hard for groups to continually ask their supporters to put their hands
in their pockets but as so many people shop online as a matter of course, this is
the perfect way for groups to harness that trend. We are pleased that so many groups
have benefited from shopping with us over the Christmas period.”
