Easyfundraising.org.uk provide a FREE service where you can shop with your favourite online stores and at no extra cost raise funds for Add+Up. You still shop directly with each retailer as you would normally, but simply by using the links from their site first each retailer will make a cashback donation to Add+Up.

For example, spend £25 with WH Smith and 3.5% will be donated. You will have raised £0.88, at no extra cost to your purchase. Make any purchase from Amazon and 2.5% will be donated. Insure your car with Direct Line and raise £30.00, or purchase a mobile phone from O2 and earn £17.50, and so on.

You can shop with 500+ Brand Name retailers and to raise funds you just use the links from their site first - it's that simple!

And now you can even help raise funds for Add+Up while you search online! Easyfundraising.org.uk have added a fundraising search engine, easysearch is their new charity search engine where you can raise funds for Add+Up, simply by surfing the web!

Powered by Yahoo! the world's 2nd largest search provider, easysearch works just like Google giving you fast, accurate search results every time you search online. But unlike Google, easysearch gives you something back!

When you search using easysearch Add+Up will receive around a penny for every search you make. It doesn't sound like much, but the pennies soon mount up and a keen searcher can raise £25.00 a year - or more - just through their normal online searching!

easysearch is completely free to use, so this is a great way to support Add+Up - just by surfing the web as you do already! You can even add their search engine to your browser and make it your default search engine.

Simply register with easyfundraising.org.uk, choose Add+Up from the list of good causes, we're actually listed as Attention Deficit Disorders Uniting Parents (ADD UP), and remember to go to your favourite online shopping sites via easyfundraising.org.uk and start raising funds to support Add+Up.
