Shopping online? Please give the RO a hand at the same time!

We have registered with Easyfundraising and Give as you Live, online services which allow you to fundraise for a charity (or more than one) such as the Rehearsal Orchestra when you shop online. There is no additional cost to you – it’s completely free!

Basically, you register with the websites (which only takes a couple of minutes), and then use them as portals to go to the retailers' own websites to shop as usual. You can also download a browser toolbar add-on or a mobile app which alerts you if a retailer's website is part of the scheme.

The retailers donate a percentage of the cost of your purchase to us on your behalf. Thousands of popular retailers are part of the schemes, including many big names (major online retailers and supermarkets, department stores and high-street retailers, insurance and energy companies, travel agents, even eBay) as well as smaller ones.

Business supporters can also fundraise for a charity this way, either through online business purchases or as a workplace fundraising group. If you own a business, or think your employer could support us in this way, please visit Easyfundraising or Give as you Live for further information.

These services also offer other great ways to support the RO – through registered store cards, internet searches, on the high street, or direct online donations.

We have tried the services ourselves. They are very easy to use, and the donations really add up when you use them regularly!
