“It’s a brilliant idea to use TheGivingMachine as it enables people who shop online to raise money for good causes at the same time.

The cause that myself and my partner support is called the ‘Family and Friends of Sandgate School’. The school is in Kendal in Cumbria and supports children with special educational needs.

Our charity which was set up initially by parents in order to raise money to buy specialist equipment that the school would otherwise struggle to afford. The schools motto is ‘Achievement for All’

Our nephew Ethan who was born with Downs Syndrome attends the school so it is a cause very close to our hearts.“
