Every time you shop online, you have a chance to support Derbyshire Toy Libraries — without spending a penny extra. It’s called EasyFundraising, and it’s one of the easiest ways to help us grow.
How it works
When you shop with over 8,000 retailers online — from Amazon and Argos to John Lewis, Boots, Sainsbury’s, and Booking.com — a percentage of what you spend gets donated straight to DTL. The retailer pays the commission, not you. Your shopping costs exactly the same.
That’s it. Really.
Why we love it
Nearly 200,000 causes have raised almost £60 million through EasyFundraising. For us, it’s a completely free funding stream that lets our community support DTL while doing their everyday shopping. No extra effort. No extra cost.
How much can you raise?
This is the bit we find amazing. Look at what one supporter could raise in a year, just through normal household shopping:
- January: Holiday booked with Tui — £70
- February: Valentine’s spa break for 2 — £10
- March: Upgraded TV with Virgin Media — £40.25
- April: Home insurance with Go.Compare — £17.50
- May: Upgraded mobile phone with O2 — £47.50
- June: Pet insurance with PetPlan — £40
- July: School uniform at M&S — £4.50
- August: Traded in an old car with We Buy Any Car — £40
- September: Car insurance at MoneySuperMarket — £15
- October: New fridge at AO.com — £22.50
- November: Christmas tree at B&Q — £4.50
- December: A year of weekly Tesco Groceries shops — £57
Total raised in one year: £368.75
And they didn’t spend any extra. Imagine if ten families in your village did that. Or fifty. That’s how EasyFundraising grows real money for us.
