The FR Society has long had links with ‘Give as you Live’, an organisation that allows people to shop on line whilst a percentage of the spend goes to charity.
There is also a search tool in Everyclick. We have now linked up with Sainsbury’s to give the potential for the FRS to raise some serious money.
The idea is simple. You register for an ‘Everyday Shopping Card’. When you receive this you then add funds onto it in units of £25. The card is then used instead of cash or your debit card. You get a balance remaining each time you shop and this can also be monitored on line.
The bonus is that 4% of the amount you add to the card is given to FRS at no cost to you. If you put £100 on your card, Sainsbury’s gives £4 and, considering how much the average family spends on groceries, this could really mount up.
Now I’ll admit this is not going to be very useful whilst near the FR with the closest stores being at Llandudno or Rhyl but most of us live not too far from one of their stores. This card could also be of use for those of you helping support a student at University.
