’Vale could reap benefits from online shopping

DEVERONVALE fans are being urged to log on to the Internet to help raise funds for the club when they shop online.

The Princess Royal Park club has signed up with www.easyfundraising.org.uk, an innovative website where thousands of people are raising money for charities every time they shop.

By using easyfundraising to access products from over 3,000 well-known retailers, savvy supporters generate a free donation for the good cause of their choice. And, as donations can be as much as 15% of the purchase price, Deveronvale hope local people will log on and support them.

With good causes feeling the pinch during the economic downturn, Deveronvale FC chairman Bob McLardy is keen for as many people as possible to sign up to this free service.

He said: "In the current financial climate we know that every penny counts, so we’re not asking people to donate, just to shop online as they normally would. Almost all of us shop online these days, so what could be easier than raising funds simply by making the purchases you make anyway?"

Featuring highly regarded retailers including Amazon, M&S, Argos, Boden, Tesco and many more, easyfundraising has already helped UK causes raise almost £4 million.
