Hi all,
Everyone who shops on line using places like EBay, Amazon, Tesco's, Car Insurance, Pet Insurance, Argos and hundreds more can raise money for the birds who desperately need our help.
This is with NO extra costs to the buyer. The on line stores pay us out of the money you spend.
Please use this link and register.
www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/parrotrescue
Then happy shoppers get shopping 
Everytime you shop go through this link and raise money for Birdline. All you do is register and shop.
Thank you from all the birds who need us.

Do you register then go to amazon or ebay as per normal or do you have to go to your outlet via the fundraising outlet website |

You register and then go through that site to your shopping site (ie amazon etc). Doesn't cost you any extra though, as said, and they even have some offers occasionally |

I have done this for a charity that I run and I have found that some shops will only give the donation the first time that you shop with them, they do not do it every time that you shop, which is very unfair I think.
It has happened with groceries delivered to the door and with shops that I have bought my printer inks from, and I use them to print for the charity.
Some companies are on one day and then left the next, so check before you use them as it may only work once. |

I saw a link the other day on Cartridge world or it might have been Cartridge People to set up a charity account. Anyone able to follow this up? |

I joined this morning and promptly trundled off to amazon (via the site) to try and raise some money, ended up spending £40, joyful thinking i would be the first to raise BL some money, i then discover it hasn't registered any donation yet and im worried my purchasing may be wasted. Does anybody have any previous experience who can tell me how it works? I know it can take up to 30 days apparently but other than being signed in to EasyFR do i have to do anything to let amazon know that i want them to donate? |

I just think it takes a while for it to register on the site (as the company in question actually have to transfer the funds raised etc) but any more info would be welcomed indeed! |
