Part Two of How to Fundraise for Free
How our Supermarkets are lending a helping hand in the community and letting you have your say.
Nominate the Child Brain Injury Trust Today |
Most of us have been shopping in Asda or Waitrose and received a green token to place in the box of our choice at the check out. If you are anything like me you spend quite a lot of time choosing which box to place your token in.
This is a great way to have your say in the community; however, you can have even more of a say than that. Each month both Waitrose and Asda support 3 local charities per branch by allocating a percentage of £1000 per charity according to the number of tokens each receives. So keep putting them in!
Wouldn't it be great if the next time you went shopping you saw the Child Brain Injury Trust as one of the causes being supported? You can make this possible. Another great way to fundraise at no cost to yourself!
All you need to do is go into your local store and fill out an application form and hand it over at the customer services desk. It really is that simple and it only takes five minutes!
Alternatively you can nominate a cause with your local Asda store online - all you need to do is go to http://storelocator.asda.com/#!/ and search for your local store. Once you are on your store home page you will see a box on the right hand side labelled 'You choose... nominate a cause'. All you need to do is click on this box to nominate the Child Brain Injury Trust.
So far we have received money from Waitrose stores in Hexham in the North East and Headington in Oxford. So all you need to do the next time you are shopping in Asda or Waitrose is fill out a form to nominate the Child Brain Injury Trust's local work in your area.
Thank you to all who nominated us and we will keep looking for other ways to fundraise for free.
