Hi all,
An update on our fundraising activity
Great news. Ben Skipworth has managed to secure a Community Matters collection bin for Mere CC in Waitrose Gillingham for the month of March. So please start saving your green tokens and deposit in the right slot during March!
Also a big thank you to all of you who have signed up to Easyfundraising, helping Mere CC to raise funds from just shopping on-line. It would be great if more of you sign up as it's an easy and no cost way of raising funds. Further details about Easyfundraising and links to the site and our cause can be found later in this note. You can also download an App to make it even easier to raise funds for Mere CC.
As I know many of you like to top the batting and bowling lists, I have added an alternative league table below, the
Mere CC Easyfundraising league table. Maybe we will have to add another trophy for our next prize giving evening. Looking at the table, I may have a chance of winning it!
1. Cathy H £23.33
2. Nick R. £11.22
3. Frank L. £6.99
4. Duncan W £4.39
5. Bryan Y £2.94
Wouldn't you like to be top of league? Please sign up and see if you can get to the top of the league.
Please encourage friends and family to sign up as well
An Easy Way To Raise Funds
Do you shop online? Did you know that every time you buy something you could be raising money for Mere CC?
That’s right - over 2400 well known retailers including Amazon, M&S, Boden, Waitrose, House of Fraser, Vodafone, Virgin Atlantic and many more, will donate a percentage of what you spend to Mere CC! when you shop with them, via fundraising website easyfundraising.org.uk
An Easy Way To Raise Funds
It’s like nectar but instead of earning points, each purchase generates a donation. So instead of going directly to a retailer’s website, go to easyfundraising first and choose the retailer you want to shop with – then everything you spend with that retailer earns a free donation for Mere CC. It’s completely free to use and your shopping won’t cost you a penny more.
On average, each retailer will donate 5% of the cost of your shopping - and those donations soon mount up.
So whatever you need to buy, from your weekly grocery shop or fashion must-have, to your business travel, office supplies or mobile phone, buy it via easyfundraising and raise money for Mere CC at no extra cost to you!
Please register to supporting us when you shop online - http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/mere-cc
That's all for now but if any of you have any other ideas for raising funds for the club, please have a word with a committee member.
Thanks
Nick
