Becky Coleman, spokesperson for easyfundraising, said: "At a time when the economic
climate is uncertain and many charities and good causes suffer as people tighten
their belts, our site offers them a lifeline. Their members and supporters don’t
need to dig deep to donate, but merely shop online for their everyday products such
as books, clothing, food, toys, travel, and even insurance, and every purchase they
make through the easyfundraising site will benefit a cause close to their heart."
