Polly Gowers, CEO of Everyclick.com said: We are delighted to have reached the £200,000 mark. There are over 6,000 charities benefiting from our website. At the rate we are growing we hope to have raised over £1million for charity by the end of the year. The best thing is that it has not cost our users or the charity they support any money.”
Matt Hallett, a sixth form student at Alcester Grammar School, in Warwickshire tried Everyclick.com for himself before telling his head teacher about it. “I spent a month as the only supporter of my school’s PTA”, he said. “I raised £8.90 from about 600 searches on my own at home. I told my head teacher about this and his eyes lit up when he worked out how much money a school of 950 students and teachers could raise, if all the computers were to set Everyclick.com as their homepage. £50,000 was the figure he came up with.”
