Finding the money to run a club can sometimes be tricky, so we're promoting easyfundraising, the UK’s leading shopping fundraising website, who can kick-off club fundraising for 2019/20 and secure extra cash when members shop online.

Over 4,000 clubs who need funding for new kit, pitch hire, affiliation fees, or day-to-day running costs are actively using easyfundraising’s supplementary income stream. By signing-up as a ‘Cause’ for free at www.easyfundraising.org.uk/essex-fa, clubs can start raising money when staff, players and supporters use the website to shop online with 4,000+ well-known retailers.

Every time they make a purchase via easyfundraising, the club then receives free cashback donations, at no extra cost to anyone. Retailers such as Amazon, Argos, John Lewis, booking.com, Trainline, Uber Eats and eBay are included, plus many more.

With easyfundraising, the average supporter can raise up to £30 a year. That means if just ten people sign-up in support, a club could receive around £300 annually. To help you spread the word, easyfundraising provide a free ‘Fundraising Toolkit’ with everything a club needs to recruit supporters who can help raise hundreds in free cash. 

Register with easyfundraising for free at www.easyfundraising.org.uk/essex-fa to secure extra cash for your club. Further grassroots football information can be found in the menus above, by following @EssexCountyFA on Twitter and by searching for ‘EssexFootball’ on Facebook.
