Shop to Raise Funds
- You can save hens every time you shop online at no cost to you. Yes really, you can shop online with over 4,000 UK retailers such as Sophie Allport, Amazon, Sainsbury's, M&S, Boots, Argos, Wickes, John Lewis (to name a few) and donate funds directly to us every time you make a purchase, for free.
- It really is simple and it really does make a difference to us. Just have a glance through the different options we've outlined below for the latest ways to donate and see which suits you best. Now that's what we call feel-good shopping!
easyfundraising
With over 1.8 million loyal supporters, easyfundraising has so far raised over £31 million for charities. Nearly £3000 has been raised for the BHWT in this scheme and we’d love to increase that with your help!
Similar to Give As You Live but rather than downloading an app you visit easyfundraising.com, select your chosen charity, install a Donation Reminder which sits on your browser and automatically prompts a donation when you visit one of the 3800+ retailers associated with the scheme.
Percentages and offers vary, for example M&S raise 2% and at the moment if you purchase car insurance via Go Compare or Moneysupermarket you can raise a donation of up to £15.
Give as You Live
The Give As You Live app has raised over £12 million for charity since it started. Over 4000 retailers from across the food, lifestyle, travel, DIY, clothing sectors are signed up and every time you shop you raise funds. It doesn’t cost anything to set up, just go to your app store and download the Give As You Live app on your tablet or mobile and start shopping!
We have many lovely testimonials from supporters who have been doing this for years. Sophie Goard is just one of them and has rehomed many hens, she told us;
“I have been using Give as you Live to make donations to the British Hen Welfare Trust since 2013, it is a no hassle way of sending a little something as often as I shop online (which is quite often) without any additional cost”.
In fact, Sophie has raised £140.88 for us shopping at Sainsbury’s and other online stores.
eBay
If you are selling on eBay you can raise funds by donating between 10% and 100% of each item’s sale price to your chosen charity. PayPal Giving Fund will collect the donation from the you, claim Gift Aid (if eligible) and pass 100% of the money on to us.
