And in a cost-of-living crisis where charities and good causes are being squeezed as families and households rein in their spending, this money could prove vital.
All people need to do is go to the easyfundraising website, find a brand to shop with, do your shopping through the site, then you can pick a charity which the brand will give money to after you’ve confirmed your order. It’s as easy as that! And, what’s more, it won’t cost you a single penny extra!
Other broadband retailers on the easyfundraising website include Plusnet Broadband, Vodafone, Sky and Your Co-op. All are offering money to charity if you take out broadband using the platform.

James Moir, the CEO of easyfundraising, says: “Most of the country has some form of broadband in their homes and workplaces, with it being a vital tool for so many of our day-to-day activities, whether that’s shopping, messaging loved ones, or arranging our next social event.
“The great thing is when you’re shopping, and that can be for groceries, clothes or even perfumes, if you do it through the easyfundraising website, the brand or retailer you buy from will donate a percentage to your favourite good cause or charity you choose.
“And it won’t cost you a single penny extra on your bill. So, what’s not to like? It’s simple: go to the website, do your shop and then your charity gets a bit of cash too.”
