Support Piddington Village Hall
Easyfundraising - An easy way to raise funds for Piddington Village Hall
The PVHMC are always trying to think of ways to raise funds not only to maintain the village hall but also to pay for refurbishment at some point We will of course continue to put on events that offer something of interest while at the same time generating some much needed income, but it’s difficult to keep asking members of our small community to part with their hard-earned cash.
We think we’ve found a solution. Wouldn’t it be great if you could donate some money to your village hall every time you shop online with well-known companies such as John Lewis, Amazon, Argos, ebay, etc? Or search the web? At no extra cost to yourself and with only one extra click?
Supporters register to help a good cause and whenever they shop through the site with any of over 3000 retailers listed on easyfundraising.org.uk, the retailer gives a small percentage of what’s been spent back to the good cause to say thank you for shopping with them. Many high street names are now involved, including M&S, Argos, Asda, Tesco, Ticketmaster, Expedia and many more.
We have registered Piddington Village Hall on easyfundraising as ‘PIDDINGTON OXON VILLAGE HALL’, and we are asking you to support us by going through the easyfundraising website every time you shop. In fact, you don’t have to spend anything to start raising money for Piddington Village Hall. Some retailers will make FREE donations if you register with their website, sign up to their mailing list or participate in a free trial.
If you already support a charity by using this or a similar donating website, or if you regularly use a cashback website, such as Quidco, you will be familiar with the idea of clicking through to a retailer from another website. You may have spotted too that easyfundraising has participating retailers who aren’t included in the major cashback sites, e.g. John Lewis, Amazon and eBay.
