Fund Raising, Registered Charity No. 520260

Our main project for 2008/2009 is to purchase equipment for hill walking,

if you wish to give to this project please visit the big give web site

It sounds too good to be true, but it is true, you can raise funds by just using your computer and we now have 3 different ways you can do this.

Method 1

Replace Google or Yahoo as your search engine and we will receive a donation when you search the web at no cost to you.

I have just started using a new search engine, that gives money to charity. Please give it a try - it's a great way to give everyday and it doesn't cost you a penny!

Our Charity number is 520260, if when searching for the charity you use this number you find our Scout Group straight away.

Everyclick.com is a search engine that gives half of the revenue it generates to charity. Use it to raise money for our Scout Group whenever you search the web. Last year search engines generated close to £3.2 billion - just imagine how your selected charity could benefit if you and your friends all used everyclick.com to support them whenever you searched the web.

All you need to do is select the charity you would like to support, there's absolutely no charge to you or the charities involved.

Please give it a go and if you like it as much as I do - pass this message on!

Method 2

Shop on line at 1st Upton-by-Chester Scout Group web shop. This web site links you to lots of the major retailers and they will give us a donation for each person that uses this link. At no cost to you.

It's a great way to get some fantastic online bargains, find cheaper gas and electricity services and even book our holidays. Remember, anything you buy through our webshop will help towards our fundraising targets.

So go on, top up your CD/DVD collection, or, if you're making business purchases, why not make them from our webshop? For example, you can buy computer equipment from Novatech, great value broadband from Virgin.net or stationery from Euroffice. There's also plenty of offers on DIY products, clothing and lots more from big high street names.

Use the search facility to compare a product name (e.g. kettle) with all of our retailers to help you find the best price.
