Caroline, from a community transport provider has shared why they think easyfundraising is a great way to raise money easily and for free. “easyfundraising is a way to fundraise which is more sustainable and less time consuming than tombolas, raffles and lotteries etc. Most people shop online and your community can all get involved in raising funds at no further cost to themselves. It has the potential to be a significant ongoing income which once set up and promoted will just run in the background.”

The organisation has raised almost £800 so far, thanks to their supporter network collecting free donations as they shop with 8,000+ retailers via the easyfundraising website or app. “You’re given step by step support to get up and running. They also provide quality resources for social media posts, and ideas for how to promote your fundraising page and increase supporter numbers.”
