easyfundraising – free funds for Girlguiding units

Offering an easy, accessible, and continual way to raise free funds, easyfundraising gives units the chance to fundraise effortlessly through online shopping.

Raise money effortlessly for your unit through online shopping—at no extra cost to anyone. Parents, volunteers and unit leaders can contribute simply by shopping with over 8,000 brands, including Amazon, eBay, John Lewis, and M&S.

How It Works

• Shop via easyfundraising – Visit the site first, click on a retailer, and shop as usual.
• Brands donate – A percentage of each purchase goes to your unit for free.
• Everyone benefits – Supporters raise funds without spending extra.

For example, if a parent of one of your unit buys a toaster from John Lewis via easyfundraising, John Lewis donates a percentage to the unit. It’s a win-win!

Why Use It?

• Ongoing income with minimal effort.
• No direct cost to supporters.
• Works for everyday purchases like insurance, broadband, and groceries.

• Register your unit – Quick and easy sign-up. www.easyfundraising.org.uk/girlguiding-swe

• Spread the word – Use ready-made social media posts, flyers, and emails.
