Where does the money come from?
Retailers pay "Give as you Live" a commission each time a sale is generated for them through the "Give as you Live" website and they pass at least 50% of this on to the charity of your choice.

1. Visit the "Give as you Live" website, find the retailer you want to shop with and continue with your shop as normal.
2. Set up a donation reminder. Once you have created an account with "Give as you Live" you can install a donation reminder directly into your favourite internet browser.
