Amazon Smile and Easy fundraising<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amazon Smile and Easy fundraising are schemes that allow the PTA to receive donations when its supporters shop online. The PTA received over \u00a3200 from Easy fundraising last year, so this is really worthwhile.<\/p>\n

The PTA has just registered for Amazon Smile, which we think will work more reliably for shopping on Amazon than Easy fundraising does currently. Furthermore, Amazon are tripling the donation rate between the 15th and 29th June to 1.5%.\u00a0 If you shop on Amazon, please browse to https:\/\/smile.amazon.co.uk\/ch\/1089431-0<\/a> to associate Hornby St Margarets PTA with your Amazon account.\u00a0 Whenever you shop, you will need to start from https:\/\/smile.amazon.co.uk<\/a> for the PTA to receive the donation.\u00a0 For any other online shopping, please continue to use Easy fundraising as before.\u00a0 Many thanks for your support!<\/p>\n
