Christmas is coming…
I know you don’t need reminding that Christmas shopping is starting to get into full swing now. Even those of us like me who only shop when we have are starting to think about those presents for our family and friends. The good news is that you can do more shopping than ever online and so avoid the queues and get everything delivered to your front door. Recent published figures indicate that around £14bn will be spent on Christmas shopping by people like us in the run up to the big day.

Our job at TheGivingMachine is to try to help as many of our charities and schools benefit from it and we’ll only be able to do that with your help. So when you’re buying your presents online , don’t forget to do it through TheGivingMachine and we’ll ensure your good causes get your cash donation on your behalf. Remember, it will not cost you any more to give via TheGivingMachine.co.uk.

Help us give more to your favourite schools and charities
Another thing you can do to help your favourite charities and schools is by telling your family and friends about how you support them every time you buy online. Just click here to send them a link to TheGivingMachine and help your favourite causes even more this Christmas by giving them new supporters. If every one introduced 1 extra person, it could double the amount we give away! Thousands of UK schools and charities can now be included so help us spread the word across the land.
