We have registered Stockport M.E. Group with Amazon Smile and this means if people use Amazon Smile instead of normal Amazon and select us as their charity of choice we get a little money for free whenever you buy stuff on Amazon.
It is pretty easy to register. If you have never used Amazon Smile then you will probably do most of it by clicking this link and then maybe ticking YES and then just remembering to use Amazon Smile rather than Amazon or download the Amazon Smile app and use that instead of the more or less identical Amazon one.

The more people who do this the better whether they are SMEG members, friends, family etc. Everything we raise does get re-invested in working with people with ME/CFS and their families in Stockport and the surrounding areas.
If you are already with Smile it is really easy to change your charity to Stockport ME Group. The slightly tricky thing is we wont come up in a search for “Stockport ME Group” either remove the ME or add “M.E.” with the full stops and your sorted. Again you can click on the above link to do this.
In the first year of using Smile we generated about £35 from about 20 different people making eligible purchases. If we are able to continue with friends, family and other people using Smile with us for their Amazon purchases then this could develop into a decent amount of money over time.
