Romford FC is now supported by easyfundraising.org. So whenever you shop online at any of the retailers that are a part of easyfundraising Romford FC

What is easyfundraising and how does it work?

easyfundraising is a shopping directory listing some of your favourite online stores including Argos, Amazon, Game, Toys 'R' Us, eBay, M&S, expedia, hotels.com, Asda, Debenhams, Currys and over 2000 others. Just use the links on the easyfundraising site whenever you shop online and, at no extra cost to you, we'll receive a free donation from every purchase you make. It really is that simple!
It’s completely FREE to register and you won’t pay a penny more for your shopping when you use the easyfundraising site. In fact you can even SAVE MONEY as many retailers offer discounts, special offers and even 'e-vouchers' exclusive to easyfundraising.

So, what do I need to do?

Firstly, you need to register ....
- go to our easyfundraising page - http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/romfordfc/?t=Easyfundraising-li&v=a&u=QJ7M4K
- you'll then be asked to provide your login details .. name, email address and password for your new account. Click "Create my account"
- you'll then be asked if you want to install the "Donation Reminder" toolbar. You don't have to (click "No Thanks") but I have and it really does help
- you'll then see the main screen with "Raising for ROMFORD FC" in the middle

Then, simply search the retailers, shop as normal and raise money.

I have a memory like a sieve so I'll never remember to use easyfundraising. What can I do?

At times we will forget to go via easyfundraising. We all do it, we search Amazon, jump onto the site, buy stuff then we remember that had we gone via the easyfundraising page we would have earned some free money. We feel bad, make a mental note not to forget next time then next time when we shop we forget again. We feel bad .... and the cycle repeats

The answer is simple: Install the "Donation Reminder" toolbar.

If you didn't install it as part of the account creation process, then it can be installed from your account.

Once installed ..
- you get a toolbar at the top of your browser showing total raised by you and total raised for the cause
- whenever you go to a site that is part of the easyfundraising retailer list a yellow bar appears asking if you'd like to "claim your donation" and a button that allows you to "Activate donation". Click the button and you'll get a "your donations have been activated" message and a note on your toolbar that you are "Collecting donations on this site"
- If your toolbar shows a "No donations available from this site" message then just key in the retailer in the easyfundraising searchbox on the toolbar .. sometimes the activation process doesn't work (for Amazon for instance) so just search anyway
