A big thank you to our Fair Start supporters who have raised over £195 by shopping online!

Fair Start has teamed up with easyfundraising, an established platform that converts online spending into donations to us. And, thanks to you, this means that £195.33 has already been raised so far.

Fair Start is a registered charity (charity number 1214138) and every penny that is donated goes straight towards our school libraries. We rely on volunteers, donations and grants to help us refurbish the libraries and then provide ongoing support, so every penny is vital.

If you haven't already heard of easyfundraising then please do consider it (and us) when you next shop online. Over 8,000 retailers, including TUI, Argos, John Lewis & Partners, Tesco and Just Eat, take part and they provide the donations so there is no extra cost to you.

And if you sign up before 23 August 2026 by following this link - https://join.easyfundraising.org.uk/fair-start/1cpnrj/c2s/mQ7oHj9a/CE947/textcopy/195.33 - we could win a massive £5,000 donation!

Subsequently, to sign up to easyfundraising all you have to do is: 1) follow the link to our cause page on: https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/fair-start (If the generic easyfundraising page pops up over the Fair Start Libraries page, then scroll down to the bottom and click on “sign up on the website” That will take you back to the Fair Start page) 2) Click on the yellow box that says “Start raising free donations today” 3) Create an account and start shopping!

Fair Start has already made a difference in the 12 months since the first library was launched. Two libraries have been refurbished and launched and two more libraries are in the pipeline for this Autumn and early next year.

Even though we rely on volunteers for books and their time, decorating materials and the Libresoft library system still need funding. Every penny you raise will directly go to benefit children in schools where they need it most, so once again, a big thank you to our supporters for raising much needed funds via easyfundraising.
