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 £206.74 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 you, claim Gift Aid (if eligible) and pass 100% of the money on to us.
