Good morning everyone

Has anyone had dealings or thoughts on the charity "Give as You Live" seems an excellent idea but am a little wary of web site stuff.

Antar,

Yes, we use the 'Give as you live' website as a portal for our online shopping (where we can). However something's such as groceries (from Tesco for instance) don't count (which is a shame). This would really add up with our online weekly shop.

Once you have registered then 'signing into' your account via the 'Give as you Live' website and then searching for the shop or item you want to purchase will re direct you. Once complete then you will receive confirmation on the saving and your account gets updated regularly with a total raised.

If I'm honest we have not raised a fortune (some retailers are more generous than others) however as San says every little helps and if it's for Myeloma UK then it's got to be worth it!

it's a good idea and we are trying to encourage others to use it where they can and if they feel comfortable.

All the best.

Scott;-)

Hi Scott

thanks for that feedback.
I'll give it a go then.

Used to spend a lot on line business products etc. that won't happen on that scale now,but as you say every pound or pennies helps especially if thousands or millions were to get involved, and costs you nothing brilliant idea.

Hope you are well

Regards David

Hi Folks
We have a page about Give As You Live on the site http://www.myeloma.org.uk/get-involved/fundraising/shop/give-as-you-live/. There is also a plugin for Internet Explorer / Chrome which automatically detect a website that is part of the scheme without you needing to search through the Give As You Live website. http://www.giveasyoulive.com/install/.

I hope this helps

Stuart tried both links and came up "page not found". Could it be because I'm using an IPad?

Hi Jean
No nothing to do with the iPad. Entirely to do with my clumsy fingers! I've fixed the links now. 🙂

Cheers
Stuart
