Hello folks!
I predominately shop online, so I find this site very useful for raising funds for charity – without paying more than I would have done, with what I was going to purchase anyway. In fact, free donations are collected for your chosen charity! I have chosen Celia Hammond Animal Trust (UK Animal Rescue Charity), but you are not limited to animal charities.
It doesn’t cost you a penny extra. When you shop the easyfundraising way with one of our 3,113 shops and sites they give us a commission for your purchase. We turn that into a donation and give it to your good cause. Easy!

Not sure if there is a scheme like this anywhere else in the world, but it’s worth you having a look.

Apart from raising my son on my own, I am sure many are aware that I am an Animal Advocate. When I am not blogging, this is part of what I do. 72.4k tweets (and counting) helping to save the lives of as many animals as possible. (In case you are wondering, Anderson is my real surname).
We can all do our bit to save the Animal Kingdom – many of which are becoming extinct due to illegal poaching, trophy hunters and greed.
I know it is not something everyone may want to be involved in, but please spread the word. You may know others who will.
Thank you!
