Fundraising for Shimna with buy.at

First of all if you have been shopping through buy.at on our website, thanks a million. Many of the retailers are genuinely generous with the percentage they donate to the college on each purchase. However, we want to pass on a tip for maximising your fundraising. Amazon is one of the most popular retailers for on-line shopping. Unfortunately, Amazon has reduced its contribution to 1%. We would point out that there are other booksellers on the buy.at site. Waterstones is a good example, which gives the same offer of free postage with orders over £15.00. More retailers join the scheme every month, and there are now several charities to support while also making a bit for Shimna too. The Ethical Superstore, which won the Observer Award this year, is a really interesting site with lots of products that are hard to find locally.
