EasyFundraising News

Between January and March 2013, Bedworth Disabled Swimming Club raised £24.89 for club funds, with EasyFundraising. Many thanks to everyone who helped us raise this. For more information on how EasyFundraising works, please see below:

An Easy Way To Raise Funds

Do you shop online? Did you know that every time you buy something you could be raising money for Bedworth Disabled Swimming Club?

That’s right – over 2400 well known retailers including Amazon, M&S, Boden, Waitrose, House of Fraser, Vodafone, Virgin Atlantic and many more, will donate a percentage of what you spend to Bedworth Disabled Swimming Club! when you shop with them, via http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/bedworthdsc

An Easy Way To Raise Funds

It’s like nectar but instead of earning points, each purchase generates a donation. So instead of going directly to a retailer’s website, go to easyfundraising first and choose the retailer you want to shop with – then everything you spend with that retailer earns a free donation for Bedworth Disabled Swimming Club. It’s completely free to use and your shopping won’t cost you a penny more.

On average, each retailer will donate 5% of the cost of your shopping – and those donations soon mount up.

So whatever you need to buy, from your weekly grocery shop or fashion must-have, to your business travel, office supplies or mobile phone, buy it via easyfundraising and raise money for Bedworth Disabled Swimming Club at no extra cost to you!

Is there anyone who would like to order a hoodie that hasn’t already done so? We are still trying to collect enough orders so that we can take advantage of the promotional deal. They will be in Royal Blue, with the club logo on and are in sizes,  small (34-36″), medium (38-40″), large (42-44″), extra large (46-48″) or extra extra  large ( 50-52″). We are asking members to pay £10 each (including post and packing). If you would like to order one, please let Marie Clarke  know. You can download an order form from the link below. Thanks to everyone who has already placed their order, once I have a minimum of 24 hoodies, we can send the order off to the company.
