Just imagine that every time you shopped – every grocery shop, every time you bought baby supplies or a school uniform or something for yourself – you were benefitting a charity, without costing you more.
Take part in our #MumsforGood campaign and you can! The campaign is sponsored by Give As You Live, the site that gives money back to charity every time you shop. Meet the #MumsforGood and learn more!
Here’s how you can take part:
* Help fellow BritMums raise money for their chosen charities. Visit the microsites of our Mums for Good Ambassadors (listed below) to see their handpicked shopping lists and favourite shops. Sign up/download Give As You Live via their sites (or buy something on their recommended list) and you raise money for their pet charity!
* Shop via the Give as You Live site at your favourite stores (everything from Boots to John Lewis to iTunes) and a portion of what you spend is donated to a charity of your choice.
* Make giving while shopping effortless by downloading the Give As You Live tool. Every time you visit a shopping site, you have the option of buying through GAYL to benefit your charity. Download the tool now to start giving with every shop.
