How’s this for multi-tasking? You could help The London Legal Support Trust while simultaneously doing your Christmas shopping or grocery shopping. All you have to do is sign up to easyfundraising here. Then, every time you shop online, go to easyfundraising first, pick the retailer you want and start shopping. Nearly 3,000 retailers will make a donation to a charity of your choice, including Amazon, John Lewis, Aviva, thetrainline and Sainsbury’s. There are no hidden catches and the process is free.
