Fundraising website easyfundraising.org.uk raised over £300,000 for good causes 
in the run up to Christmas 2010, bringing its total to £2.2 million since it launched
in 2007.

Between October and December 2010, a total of £302,144 was generated by easyfundraising’s
members as they shopped online with nearly 2000 retail partners.

Shoppers login to easyfundraising, and then simply select a good cause to support
before buying with retailers such as M&S, Argos, Vodafone, Comet, Play.com, GAME,
Debenhams and House of Fraser. When they make a purchase, the retailer passes a 
donation to the shopper’s chosen cause, which is either a percentage of the total
spend or a flat, one-off donation.

Managing Director Gary Thompson said: “We’re thrilled to have passed the £2 million
donation mark. The easyfundraising supporters are using our service more than ever…
We’re hoping to raise well in excess of £1m in 2011”.
