**Alzheimer’s Research UK will be benefiting from the nation’s spending on DIY over
the Easter holiday through its long-standing partnership with home improvement retailer
Wickes.**

 

The two organisations have partnered with money-saving voucher site Savoo for an
Easter campaign. From 9 to 23 April, Wickes and Savoo will pass on [2% of the sale value](https://www.savoo.co.uk/m-wickes-vouchers.html)
of every order directly to Alzheimer’s Research UK.

As ARUK’s [Jade Rolph blogged](https://www.dementiablog.org/marathons-not-for-you-then-support-dementia-research-while-you-diy-this-easter/):“
So, if you’re looking to do some DIY over the next few weeks, now will be a perfect
time to get the materials you need – while funding groundbreaking dementia research
at the same time.”

While Savoo offers charities a year-round opportunity to generate income from their
supporters’ online shopping activities, while they save money through deals, this
partnership is different. Given Wickes and ARUK’s existing partnership, Savoo was
able to negotiate an increase in their affiliate commission to “a market-leading
figure” of **2%** for the duration of this campaign.

 

Savoo is currently engaged in expanding this model of partnerships to other retailers
and their charity partners. It sees itself as platform for “lifestyle giving”, meaning
that it can educate and promote “savvy shopping” as a way to incorporate charitable
giving.

 

To give shoppers a sense of the DIY tasks and items they can undertake and fundraise
at the same time Savoo has published [9 quick and easy ways to spruce up your home this Easter](https://www.savoo.co.uk/blog/post/spruce-up-home-spring-wickes-2019.html)
which includes an opportunity to win a £100 Wickes voucher.

ARUK supporters can also raise funds for their charity, as can any charity supporter,
by searching the web. [Savoo](http://www.savoo.co.uk) has created a search engine
in association with Bing, which donates a penny to the user’s selected charity with
every search.
