Easyfundraising
You can now help Cubbington Action Group Against HS2 to raise money for our campaign at no cost to yourself.
How?
By doing your Internet shopping via the easyfundraising.org website. Over 2000 brand name retailers will pay a rebate to your chosen registered group when you shop in this way. Rebates vary according to the retailer. You nominate CAG as the beneficiary of your rebate. See How do I start?
Why do retailers give a rebate? What’s in it for them?
They benefit from a reduction in their costs, as on-line shopping costs them less, and an introduction to on-line shoppers.
How do I start?
First you need to register as a shopper.
Click on http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk
Find the ‘Support your cause’ section and type in ‘Cubbington Action Group Against HS2’. This may appear in a box below as soon as you type ‘Cubbington’. Click on the name if it comes up, or else on the magnifying glass symbol.
This takes you to a new page where you register as a supporter. Fill in the on-line form. You will need a password. Choose your options in the boxes below, read the Terms and click to register.
You will then be taken to a Welcome page. One of the sections is ‘Tell a Friend’ – please do! You can start shopping at once. Logout is on the ‘Account’ menu (top right of the screen).
You will also receive a Welcome email, confirming your details (but not your password) and offering hints on how to use the site. This may well end up in your junk mail box, so don’t forget to check.
Thank you for supporting Cubbington Action Group Against HS2
