HELP THE TRUST WHEN YOU SHOP ONLINE!

You may have noticed a menu tab on this site headed EasyFundraising. Although fundraising never seems to be too easy, in this case that may actually be true. There are some simple ways you can help generate some cash for the Trust, at no expense to yourself and without having to get out of your chair to do it!

EasyFundraising have hundreds of online retailers signed up to them - Comet, HMV, Currys, PC World, John Lewis, Toys'r'Us, Next, Marks and Spencer, MFI...the list goes on and on. With Christmas fast approaching, many of you will be using these shops, so here's how you can help us at the same time.

First, register with EasyFundraising here. You will be asked to select a cause to benefit from any purchases you make there. We're listed as The Jags Trust. Then whenever you sign in to your account there and do any shopping, the JT will receive a small donation from the retailer. Sometimes it's only a few pence, others offer a small percentage of the money spent. A few offer quite large amounts. Every little helps!

We also have a direct link with Amazon under our menu tab headed aStore. If you're doing any Amazon shopping, go via that page of our site and again the Trust will receive a small donation for each transaction.

We'll try to keep you updated on some of the best offers available on there, but have a look around for yourself and see what you can turn up. There are some good bargains to be found.

We appreciate all efforts to help the Trust. We know you don't have to do this, but it would be a real help with the running costs of the organisation and would help us divert more of our other funds towards meeting our objectives.

Happy shopping!
