Give as you spend!

Plans for the Photographic Exhibition in Holy Trinity Parish Church, Kendal (13th October to 12th) are moving ahead; further generous sponsorship will allow us to get some good lighting for it. Responses to the Guest Preview have now topped 50 - and six weeks to go!
Easy Fundraising
I have just received a cheque from http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/ - for the princely sum of £16.04! But in fact for anyone who buys online, if you register with http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/ and do it through them, they will send a percentage of the money you spend (at no extra cost to you) to your specified charity; and Kasese Street Kids is on their list!
I have just looked at the easyfundraising website, and literally thousands of firms are in their system! So if you ever go online to buy anything from: Amazon, AA Insurance, ASDA, AVIVA Insurance, ARGOS; B&Q, Best Western, Boots, British Gas, Butlins; Carrentals UK, Clarks, Comet; Disneyland, Debenhams, Dell (why on earth did I not buy my new Dell computer via Easyfundraising? Stupid man that I am!), Direct Line; E-ON, Ebay, Emirates, Esure... and so on!
I am sure if all Kasese Street Kids supporters used Easyfundraising for their online spending, the next cheque they send will be a good deal more than £16.04.
