Every Penny Counts…
March 7, 2012 | What are we up to? | No comments
In an exciting addition to our website we are now giving our customers the opportunity to donate a few pence to the John Taylor Hospice whenever they order. Whether it’s a new element for a faulty cooker or a replacement pack of Miele vacuum bags, customers can choose to round up their order.
We have integrated Pennies innovative charity donation technology into our website. Through Pennies electronic charity box our customers have the opportunity to make micro-donations by rounding-up their purchase to the nearest pound with the extra pennies being donate to charity. It is a completely optional extra and has been seamlessly integrated into our existing checkout process.
Why the John Taylor Hospice
BuySpares have a long-standing relationship with John Taylor Hospice and the addition of Pennies is another way for the retailer to support the charity in the raising of funds and awareness. You can learn more about how we’ve got involved by reading our earlier post: Helping support the John Taylor Hospice.
In case you are not familiar with the excellent work done by the charity, the John Taylor Hospice is a Birmingham-based charitable organisation that provides a range of quality specialist medical, nursing, clinical and social care services for people with life-threatening illnesses in a caring and friendly environment.
Sarah Jayne Shelton, John Taylor Hospice’s Community Fundraising Manager is excited about the addition of the new scheme, stating: “This is such a new and exciting scheme. It puts the power to donate into consumers hands and will make a massive difference to life here at John Taylor Hospice. Income donated by BuySpares customers will help us plan for our patient’s future and deliver the best possible care to the 700 people that come to us for help each week.”
