This month the Friends of Bruce Castle received a £45.74 donation from Easyfundraising.

This was raised by followers who have registered to the Easyfundraising platform, who partner with over 8,000 retailers who will donate part of what you spend in your usual online shopping to a cause of your choice.

It won't cost you any extra. The cost is covered by the retailer.

We need to fundraise to support Bruce Castle Museum & Archive to facilitate the wonderful walks, talks and workshop programmes they run throughout the year.

The price you pay for your shopping, along with any shipping fees or product warranties, remains identical to what you would pay by going directly to the retailer's website.

To avoid having to log into the Easyfundraising website first, you can install the Easyfundraising Donation Reminder browser extension. This tool automatically detects when you are on an eligible retailer's website and pops up to activate the donation with a single click.

All you need to do is register for Easyfundraising and they will do the rest.
