Online shopping and searching
OK, OK, I know I have nagged you before but these things could make us rich, so again:
1. easyfundraising (for lots of retailers, including Amazon), but you need to register an email address if you haven’t done so yet
www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/omstc
(You can bookmark this and safely install their toolbar. There are free offers you can sign up for too)
2. If you can’t be bothered to register you can still shop at Amazon, but you have to go to the omstc website and click the Amazon logo at the top
www.omstc.org.uk
(You can’t bookmark the Amazon link, you have to go via our website)
3. There’s the search engine which earns us money every time you click on a search result:
www.omstc.easysearch.org.uk
(You can bookmark this, or even better set it as your home page. Use instead of Google!)
