A new online shopping site has launched with the promise of donating 75 per cent
of its entire revenue to charitable organisations.

www.agoodcause.co.uk has signed up more than 40 charities in the UK to support including
Help the Aged, Marie Curie Cancer Care and Christian Aid.

The system involves downloading a piece of freeware called AidMaker through which
you can select a cause to support and shop at one of the site’s 600 partner stores.
Customers pay the normal price for goods, but the retailer donates a part of the
total purchase price to the chosen cause. If people elect not to download the freeware,
they can still shop, but the money will be distributed equally between all the charities.

www.agoodcause.com has been operational in Scandinavia for more than two years and
currently works in eight countries including Denmark, the Netherlands, Italy, France
and the US. It works with 700 charities globally but has local retailers for each
country and a local focus to the site.
