Money-saving website discountvouchers.co.uk last week launched a Facebook campaign
to help raise funds for Sport Relief, with the company offering to donate 10p for
every new Facebook fan signed up by midnight on 21 March 2010, up to a maximum of
£50,000.

By becoming a fan of the company’s Facebook page, people can receive news on the
latest money-saving offers from companies such as lastminute.com, Tesco, Marks &
Spencer, Sky, Argos, and First Choice.

Simon Terry, Managing Director of DiscountVouchers.co.uk, said: “Becoming a Facebook
fan now has a double incentive, with anyone registered being amongst the first to
receive news of the latest money-saving offers, plus up until midnight on Sunday,
registering ensures that we will donate even more money to Sport Relief.”
