We’re also registered with Easy Fundraising and The Giving Machine, which are alternatives to Give as you Live and work similarly.

We currently only have a couple of members actively using Give as you Live, but with some new people signing up, we could potentially raise a lot more! We get frequent donations from those who shop online at Sainsbury’s, Marks & Spencers, John Lewis, H&M, Fat Face, eBay, Boots, Argos….to name a few! It also works if you shop through sites like Etsy or Not on the High Street, if you’re someone who likes to support small independent retailers as well as raising funds for charity. With Give as you Live you can raise FREE funds when you shop online at over 6,000 retailers, simply by shopping via the Give as you Live Online website, iOS app or Donation Reminder. It’s really easy to use, and whilst individual donations can be very small, they soon add up.įind out how it works by following this link. If you aren’t sure which website to go for, we recommend Give as you Live because we currently receive most of our shopping donations through them. We are registered on several shopping websites which you can shop through and fundraise for us at no extra cost to you! They work by having links with big brands and when you make purchases through them, they generate commission which is turned into donations for charities like us.

However, remember that there are other ways you can support Behçet’s UK if you shop online through websites other than Amazon. We are very grateful to everyone who has been using Amazon Smile for us until now. The scheme had been of great benefit to small charities like Behçet’s UK, bringing us around £600 over the last year, so it is a sad loss.

Until this date, customer purchases made via Amazon Smile will continue to accrue funds for Behçet’s UK as normal. Many of you may already know that it has been announced that Amazon Smile, the scheme in which customers can donate 0.5% of the value of purchases to a charity of your choice, is being discontinued, officially ending on 20 February 2023.
