Henry Smith MP has given his backing to Care2Save.co.uk, the new shopping website that will raise funds for charities when people shop online.
Care2Save is unique in the UK, as it is the only charity-owned and charity-run shopping website that gives 100% of the money that it makes through commission directly to the charity sector.
Henry said;
“It was fascinating to attend the Care2Save event, and to find out more about the benefits it can bring to local organisations such as St Catherine’s Hospice.
“I am delighted to support Care2Save.co.uk and the how it makes it easy to raise funds for local hospices.”
The site offers over 12 million products from over 2,000 UK-based high street retailers, giving commission from all purchases to charity, without costing the customer a penny.
80 per cent of the commission generated through each purchase goes to a registered charity of the shopper’s choice, and the remaining 20 per cent goes to the Care2Save Charitable Trust, which supports hospice and palliative care in the UK and globally.
This enables people to support their chosen charity this Christmas and each time they shop in the future, while also providing funds for the hospice sector.
Andrea Fragata Ladeira, Chief Executive Officer of Care2Save, added;
“Hospice care will touch all of our lives at one point or another; whether for ourselves or those close to us. Together through Care2Save we have the opportunity to transform the hospice sector and to raise significant sums for other charities in the process.
“The support of MPs is vital, and we sincerely hope that the MPs who kindly joined us today and as many people as possible will now join us in making Care2Save.co.uk their shopping website of choice for Christmas and beyond.”
