As it's Volunteers Week, we want to say a massive thank you to all the volunteers who give their time on-air and behind the scenes to make Community Radio the fantastic stations they are serving their communities!

A fantastic £2.2m has been given to community and voluntary led organisations using easyfundraising over the last 3 months alone. All courtesy of retailers giving donations when people shop online.

Your station can be part of the next funding pay out in August by setting up a free easyfundraising page.

Simply register your station as a good cause with easyfundraising and ask your network (volunteers, listeners, trustees, family etc) to choose you as the cause they want to support.

Then, each time they shop online with over 8,000 well known retailers like Tesco, trainline, M&S, Sainsbury’s, booking.com, ebay and many more, they’ll activate a cashback donation for your station courtesy of the retailer they shopped with – at no extra cost to anyone.

Be quick – free donations are waiting
