There are several easy methods to help boost our coffers. It will just take you a few moments to change your homepage or add to your favourites and you’re ready to go.
1. Retail therapy
Insurance cover, mobile phones, electricity suppliers – the list is extensive. Just click through to their site from the Hanover webshop page to earn money for charity.
You will be shopping directly with your favourite retailers including:
Amazon
HMV
John Lewis
Marks & Spencer
Mothercare
RAC
Simply by arriving via our webshop, we get a percentage of the sale. It’s as easy as that.The prices you pay are the same as the retailers’ standard online prices.
Many retailers also provide exclusive offers via the webshop, such as discounts or free delivery, providing more reasons for you to support us this way. Please set the webshop to your favourites (or set it as your homepage) so that you can always raise money for charity at no extra cost to yourself.
2. The search engine that gives
www.everyclick.com is a search engine that gives 50% of its gross revenue to charity. Just select Hanover Foundations as your beneficiary charity and we will get a small donation for every search you make. It all adds up, so why not swap to everyclick and try an alternative search engine that benefits charity.
Since they launched they’ve given over £¼ million to charity and we’d like a slice of that. Why not set it as your homepage so you can raise money for charity every day?
Everyclick is powered by Ask.com, so you can be sure that your searches will produce great results. Everyclick.com raises the same search results as any other search engine, so searching on the site is as easy and rewarding as the one you are using already, however, each time you search the web through everyclick you know you are raising money for your favourite charity!
3. Beat the Chancellor
You don’t have to be rich to leave a gift in your will. If you are lucky enough to be a homeowner with a property worth over £285,000 (2006/7) you will have to pay inheritance tax on the value of what you leave above this – which means the value of any bequest you make is automatically increased by 40% through tax efficiency.
Legacies are a vital source of funds enabling us to run projects that otherwise we would not have the resources to support.
By including us in your will, whatever the value of the bequest, you will instantly become a guardian of the future of young people in the UK.
Making a will is the only way to make sure that your wishes are carried out after your death. Yet two-thirds of the population still fail to write a will. By including us in your will we can build on the knowledge and services we have been developing since our foundation.
It is very quick and simple to change your will by adding an amendment or 'codicil'. You should review your will periodically to ensure that it continues to reflect your wishes. If your circumstances change, for example if you marry, separate or divorce, you will need to make changes to your will. Remember, you should never write on your will after it has been signed and witnessed, as this will invalidate it.
Whatever you are able to give, your support will enable young people to raise their aspirations and transform their achievement – changing the lives that will shape the future.
