The Giving Machine

Whilst you are doing your Chanukah Shopping dont forget The Giving Machine....

Leeds Jewish Welfare Board is one of a number of chariies to sign up to the online fundraising portal, ‘The Giving Machine’.

‘The Giving Machine’ taps into the multi-billion pound online retail market by providing a website for shoppers to buy from over 100 leading retailers.  Every time they shop, a percentage of the sale is turned into a donation on behalf of the shopper and given to their chosen UK charity at no cost to the shopper.  The not-for-profit scheme launched nationally in 2007 and is already raising regular income for over 600 charities across the UK.

Meirav Sasson, LJWB Fundraising Manager, said, ‘We are all doing so much shopping online.  Just by shopping via ‘The Giving Machine’, our supporters can raise extra money to support the vital work that LJWB carries out on a daily basis.  You’ll find more than 100 different shops at The Giving Machine including all your favourite high street names.’

To raise money for LJWB simply go to www.TheGivingMachine.co.uk then join and select LJWB as your beneficiary.  You can then shop via The Giving Machine and support The Board for free!
