Could you help Bedworth Disabled Swimming Club to raise money whenever you shop online?

It’s very simple – just visit http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/bedworthdsc/ to register and shop with over 2000 well known retailers like Amazon, Argos, M&S, eBay and many more. Whenever I buy something, the retailer makes a donation to Bedworth Disabled Swimming Club. They’ve helped other causes raise over £2,000,000 so it really does work.

We would be really grateful if you could use easyfundraising too. It won’t cost you a penny extra to shop through easyfundraising and you can even save money with special offers and voucher codes.

Plus, if you register before 1st March you’ll automatically receive one entry into the February competition to win an Apple iPad 2!

James Askew presented Treasurer Marie Clarke with a cheque for £1049.83, which was kindly donated by the “Ram Ravers” for the disabled. James has been a member of the Ram Ravers for several years, but it has now sadly closed. As a result, their funds are been given to other clubs who help disabled people. We are very grateful for this donation, and it will be used towards the running costs of the club.
