Supermarket funding - April

Special delivery: £100s in free funding courtesy of your favourite supermarket! 🍌🍯🍞

Bananas, milk, washing powder, cereal AND a free donation for your organisation!

If your organisation is registered with easyfundraising, all the leading supermarkets, including Tesco, Morrisons, ASDA, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Iceland, and Ocado will give a free cashback donation when members of your network order online from them, AT NO EXTRA COST.

An average of £1-2 is raised per order (and more for new customers), so each person in your network could easily generate over £100 of unrestricted funding in a year! A huge help to fund running costs and more.

If you’re not already benefitting, register your organisation with easyfundraising today and ask your network to join in support before their next grocery order. https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/merthyr-tydfil
