Once all those free donations generated by our thoughtful shoppers have been totalled up, we have the pleasure of paying out to our causes and charities each quarter. 💛 We then have the even nicer job of opening the many thank you letters that we receive. This #ThankyouThursday we thought we'd share some of them with you! We'll be doing more of this during 2025 too. Thank you for making such a difference for causes like these, and those you support. 🙏

We're all fully in the Christmas spirit here at easy HQ following our annual Festive Fuddle yesterday. 🎅 🍕 🍰 Along with enjoying a delicious array of food brought in by colleagues, we also held our first ever Christmas quiz hosted by resident reindeer Tom Yardy, a raffle and a 'Guess the number of baubles' competition which collectively raised over £500 for our cause of the year, Birmingham Christmas Shelter. We also had our end of year summary from CEO James Moir who reported another fantastic year of fundraising for our causes with over £6m raised this year! And we celebrated our Employee of the Year 2024, the well-deserving Chloe Lewin, our Service Delivery Executive. 👏

It's the official Christmas Jumper Day in support of Save the Children. Our staff have donned their festive knits to celebrate and raise! 🎅 💛 Want to get behind Save the Children year round? Shoppers have raised more than £9,000 for them to date: https://lnkd.in/d8psatTv Tom Yardy Catherine Jowett Jo Lane Becky Coleman Emma R.

It's estimated that more than 300,000 people across the UK will be homeless for Christmas. 😢 Charities like Birmingham Christmas Shelter help those who are homeless, or lonely during Christmas week, find comfort and companionship along with other services that ensure guests experience the true meaning of the season. 🎅 As our cause of the year, we're delighted to have raised over £9,000 so far in 2024 for the BCS, and we sat down with Simon, one of their trustees, to find out more about their upcoming shelter week and what a difference this funding makes. Take a moment to read all about them this #FabCauseFriday 👉 https://lnkd.in/ehGfSWxR

More than £15m has been raised for schools and PTAs using easyfundraising to date. This includes one of our most local causes, the Lichfield Cathedral School, whose parents association have raised more than £5,000 so far! 👏

This weekend could make a huge difference to a good cause you care about. Make it a #GiveBackFriday. https://buff.ly/2LzFXVK

Back in October, in partnership with Waitrose, we launched the Waitrose Together For Good initiative. Five community causes had the chance to win a £1,000 donation courtesy of Waitrose - their supporters simply needed to raise a donation by shopping with Waitrose via our site or app within the month of October. We're delighted to announce our five winning causes: ⛪ St Peter's Parish, Offham & Hamsey 🧑🤝🧑 Stevington Community Hub 🏪 Tibberton Village Shop 🚢 Sutton Hoo Ship's Company 🧑🤝🧑 The Ashdown Hub A huge congratulations to our winners! We know this extra funding will be put to great use.

To continue the celebrations of our #DonationDay week, come with us on a trip to the South West to hear all about the amazing work of iSightCornwall. We don't need to go into the details, sit back and enjoy discovering what an impact this charity has on visually impaired residents across Cornwall and what a difference their Donation Day payout of over £100 will make. 💛

Love donation day, this time paid out £1.8 million to the good causes that use our service - Wow... #easyfundraising #DonationDay

As today is #worldkindnessday, we wanted to mark it with a random act of kindness for the shoppers in our home town. To celebrate yesterday's record-breaking #DonationDay, some members of our team headed for our High Street to hand out free cupcakes to our local community in Lichfield. 💛 A random act of kindness while shopping... we could be on to something there! 😉 Tom Yardy, Becky Coleman, Samantha Rogers, Sophie Dell, Jo Lane, Milly Coleman
