Hi, 

Just a quick one for those of you who ever buy anything online - especially flights or train tickets etc. There is a website called https://www.giveasyoulive.com/. What happens is you download their app for your browser (there's probably a better word for it) which stays invisible until you are browsing a site which is linked with giveasyoulive. Then a little bar appears and you can choose to activate giveasyoulive. You make your purchase as normal at no extra cost and then a small % is given by the retailer to charity. It is a small % but on larger purchases like flights you will start to contribute. 

Most people here I know already give to charity and lots of us donate directly. This is an indirect way to give even more. It really is minimal hassle. It took me about 1 minute to register my details and download the application/taskbar thing. I've only contributed about £2.33 so far but i've not bought anything big. 

Please can I ask you to register and install the app thing and use this when you can? It will make a big difference to charities, especially the smaller ones affliated. 

There is a list of charities on the site, giveasyoulive will divide the money across charities or you can pick one from the list in your account settings. The charity that I do my youth work with is there so I have selected to give just to that. I'm not here to specifically pimp the charity I work with but if you wanted to contribute to that then feel free to pm me and i'll share that with you - thank you. 

I hope this doesn't come across as advertising in a bad way. The aim here is to highlight something which I think is a great way to give to charity.
