This site now runs on WordPress 3.3 and Suffusion 3.9.5
Let me know if you do (or don’t) like how it works now
It would appear that most Explorers, and their parents are still to discover the joys of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Both excellent browsers, both faster and more ‘standards compliant’ than IE.
Just goes to show, when we design the site upgrades and think about new site features, we need to bear in mind that the large minority of our users are using some pretty ancient computers and browsers to view it. Best we keep those limitations in mind.
Oh, the Safari users? That’ll be the tiny minority using Macs and / or iPhones

Did you know that you can help us raise money just by doing your normal internet shopping through easyfundraising?
Click on the link, register your preferences and use this to shop at over 2,000 well known places like

- John Lewis
- M&S
- Tesco Online
and practically every UK major retailer!
EASYFUNDRAISING provides a FREE service where you can shop with your favourite online stores and at no extra cost raise funds for any charity, good cause or group you choose to support. You still shop directly with each retailer as you would normally, but simply by using the links from their site first, each purchase you make will generate a cashback donation to the cause you wish to support.
For example, spend £25 with WH Smith and 3.5% will be donated. You will have raised £0.88, at no extra cost to your purchase. Make any purchase from Amazon and 2.5% will be donated. Insure your car with Direct Line and raise £35.00, or purchase a mobile phone from O2 and earn £17.50, and so on.
You can shop with 2000+ Brand Name retailers and to raise funds you just use the links from their site first – it’s that simple!
If you ALREADY shop online, why not help good causes at no extra cost from purchases you would make anyway.
Why do retailers support your fundraising?
It seems very generous, but when you buy online the cost to the retailer is much lower. As there’s no shop, salesperson, heating, electricity, rates, not even the cost of the bag to put your goods in, retailers are more than happy to help good causes when new online customers are introduced to them via our website. Please note that your chosen good cause receives 100% of the donation. E.g. the donation rate for M&S is 5% of all spend, so your chosen good cause will receive 5p for every £1 spent.
Will I pay anything extra?
No. You pay the same prices exactly as if you visited each retailer’s website directly. Using our service will not cost you a penny more than you would pay normally.
How much can I raise?
Up to 15% of every purchase is donated, depending on which retailer you select and what you buy. The exact donation that will be paid is displayed directly next to each retailer listing. With some categories such as mobile phones and insurance there is a cash value. If a retailer offers more than one donation, or if there is any special information about the retailer, please click the image
