It’s that time of the year again. The nights are closing in, Black Friday is nearly here and Christmas is everywhere we look.

f you’re an avid Amazon shopper you can donate by shopping on Amazon Smile.

Simply login to your Amazon account at the Amazon Smile website and they will donate for each eligible purchase. The first time you shop you’ll be asked to pick your charity, then from time to time they’ll update you on how much has been collectively donated.

In 2020, we raised an amazing £8,042.30. this year we would love to double that!
