The Many Ways To Support Teas

[karonus]

TEAS has been an important member of the forum over the years and enjoyed support from the forum. There are many new members of the forum who perhaps aren't aware of the role of TEAS. To many it is the home of the lethals, but for others it has been much more. Providing the temporary home for many piggies from around the country while they receive treatment from Simon and Kim Maddocks at Cat and Rabbit. This often includes the aftercare that the piggies require (which we dont charge for but accept donations)

Since becoming a registered charity we have looked at being able to better offer the care given. This will need us looking to raise £20,000 to obtain new larger better appointed sheds to a standard that can operate as "hospitals".

But our immediate concerns are making sure the existing set up continues, our current running costs (excluding vet bills) are approx £ 110 a week with vet bills adding approx £ 145 a week. We currently receive donations of £ 140 a week of which we recover £ 12 of gift aid.

So you can see any help we can receive is greatly appreciated. If you are able to donate and can gift aid that would be wonderful. The ways you can donate are listed below.

TEAS is an amazing charity.
I use EasyFundraising online. I use the app and the do my online shopping through it. It costs me nothing, but has raised well over £50 for TEAS without me making any effort at all.

Yes, Eileen. You can do on a laptop very easily. just create an account in easyfundraising nominating TEAS as your charity and bookmark it/add to your favourite sites. Then, before you shop, just go to EF first, and search for the retailer through EF and it will put you through to the retailer (e.g. Amazon/eBay/Tesco). You then do your shopping as normal, and after you've checked out you'll get an email telling you it's generated a donation of X pence for TEAS. It very soon mounts up.

I use it in my laptop browser, and on the app on my tablet. It's dead easy and there are so many retailers who are now participating.

Hi,
Sorry, could I just ask -
Would this take up much memory on a tablet?
And is Ebay one of the online shops that does it?

 

[VickiA]

No it doesn't take up much memory on a tablet. And yes, EBay is one of the participating stores.

 

[3Tyger]

Thanks

I have easy fundraising on an extension on Google Chrome browser. I've raised £30 without even thinking about it.

 

[3Tyger]

I need to give that a go then. I'm a bit behind the times with technology, but if i have any problems i'll call one of my nephews and i'm sure they'll help me sort it

Here it is - hope the link works.

 

[Mother Hubbard]

Sorry, it didn't work. It only took me to the main website, there should be an individual link to the wish list.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry - I am a bit rubbish at tech stuff.
If you go to Amazon and search 'The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary Wish List' in 'All Departments' you should find it.

Hello,

Just to let you know that I managed to start an account with Easyfundraising for the cause of TEAS (and it was very easy, no phone call to a nephew required! ).

Very happy to see my fave places to shop is on there; Ebay, MandM Direct, The Body Shop, Whittards, and even my e-cigarette company Go Vype!

I made 23p already in 1 shop, which may not be much, but i guess it all soon adds up if lots of us do it!

And i don't even feel guilty for buying myself a little treat today now...

Great news. And all those pennies soon mount up for TEAS without any effort or expense on our part. Well done x

 

[Swissgreys]

I've also just signed up, so thanks for the reminder @3Tyger

And I just wanted to say that even though I don't live in the UK, there are loads of sites listed where I already shop, so this seems like a fantastic way to make a contribution, even for those of us who live abroad

The best thing about easyfundraising is the extension which sits on the top toolbar (multicoloured e) and reminds you if the site you visit is participating in the scheme.

I'm in the process of signing up on easy fundraising but can't find TEAS on there.Do you know what I need to type in to find it?

 

[3Tyger]

Type in; The excellent adventure sanctuary - then you'll find it.

I had the same thing, it doesn't come up when you type in TEAS

Hey guys, I bought something from the Amazon wishlist which wasn't able to be delivered (they tried on the 6th), it says it's currently waiting at the post office Northampton St James Mill for instructions from the addressee, just wondering if anyone had got a card/knew about this? I've had experiences in the past where they haven't left a card so I wanted to double check before it gets sent back! I'm happy to provide the tracking number or contact them myself to rearrange delivery if someone lets me know what they want me to do.

Thank you, yes they left a card, but had a dreadful week with a very poorly piggy. I am just heading over there now to collect. Thank you so much for thinking of our extra special piggies. Very appreciated x
