Internet searches
Everyclick is an internet search engine with a big difference – it donates half its revenues to charity. Just make www.everyclick.com/bigissueinthenorth your home page and use it whenever you search the web. It does not cost us, or you, a penny.
An alternative to Everyclick is Affilyon, run by Yahoo. Again, this costs us and you nothing at all, and we simply get a percentage of the advertising revenue generated through internet searches and click-throughs. Use http://sites.affilyon.co.uk/thebigissueinthenorthtrust to search the web today.
Charity flowers
Next time it’s a special occasion, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, anniversary or celebration, send some flowers and make a contribution to The Big Issue in the North Trust at the same time.
Order online at www.charityflowers.co.uk and get 15 per cent of the cost donated to the trust. Or contact the 24 hour hotline 08705 300 600 to order and quote “BIG”.
