£75 warning issued to anyone with broadband in Lancashire

A warning has been issued to anyone who has broadband in Lancashire. Experts at the charity shopping platform, easyfundraising, want people to know they are missing out on £75 in free cash for their favourite good cause.

If you’re coming to the end of your fixed-term broadband contract or are looking to set up broadband for the first time, you can get free money for your charity with this easy hack.

At the moment, TalkTalk are offering £75 in cash to good causes if you do, BT is offering £60 in free cash to good causes while Virgin Media says it will hand out £40 to your favourite charity.

And in a cost-of-living crisis where charities and good causes are being squeezed as families and households rein in their spending, this money could prove vital.

All people need to do is go to the easyfundraising website, find a brand to shop with, do your shopping through the site, then you can pick a charity which the brand will give money to after you’ve confirmed your order. It’s as easy as that! And, what’s more, it won’t cost you a single penny extra!

Other broadband retailers on the easyfundraising website include Plusnet Broadband, Vodafone, Sky and Your Co-op. All are offering money to charity if you take out broadband using the platform.

As well as larger charities, there are plenty of smaller and grassroots good causes for you to donate to too. In easyfundraising’s recent donation day, £1.4 million was given out in total to charities and good causes.

James Moir, the CEO of easyfundraising, says: “Most of the country has some form of broadband in their homes and workplaces, with it being a vital tool for so many of our day-to-day activities, whether that’s shopping, messaging loved ones, or arranging our next social event.

“The great thing is when you’re shopping, and that can be for groceries, clothes or even perfumes, if you do it through the easyfundraising website, the brand or retailer you buy from will donate a percentage to your favourite good cause or charity you choose.

“And it won’t cost you a single penny extra on your bill. So, what’s not to like? It’s simple: go to the website, do your shop and then your charity gets a bit of cash too.”
