eBay Fanatics Take Note

Are you a frequent eBayer? eBay provides a fantastic way to benefit the charity. Simply log on to www.ebay.co.uk enter “Brain Tumour Research” into the search engine and the Brain Tumour Research page will list all the current items for sale.

Alternatively, you can use your own eBay page and click on the “sell” tab which will display an option labelled “Selling for charity” within the drop down menu. You can then select “Brain Tumour Research” and choose the percentage you wish to donate per item sold.

Recycle & Declutter

Are you really keen on recycling or desperate to declutter? There are several approved sites which allow you to get rid of your unwanted items whilst donating money to Brain Tumour Research. So, for example, if you’ve replaced your mobile phone recently, you can donate your old model, even if it’s broken, by registering with www.recycle4charity.co.uk follow the instructions to set up a donation to Brain Tumour Research and we’ll automatically receive £30 per mobile. You can also donate used inkjet cartridges which are converted into cash for vital brain tumour research.

Even better, organise a free collection box for your business premises, school or shop. It’s a great way to publicise the charity as every box or recycling bag carries the Brain Tumour Research logo.

Recycle your unwanted jewellery at www.jewelleryrecycling.org. The beauty of this site is that any jewellery is acceptable for recycling whether it’s broken, has missing links or is just an odd earring. Even inexpensive costume jewellery is accepted for recycling. Simply visit the site to obtain Brain Tumour Research specific freepost envelopes.

Convert Scrap to Money for Research

You may be surprised to learn that there’s an easy way to dispose of an old car and give money to Brain Tumour Research at the same time! Collection of your car can be arranged free of charge by visiting this salvage company’s website www.giveacar.co.uk/donate-a-car-to-charity/brain-tumour-research. Save yourself money, time and hassle whilst raising valuable funds. If there’s any value to the car, it’s sold at auction and a percentage donation is made to us.

Send an E-card and Raise Money

There’s now an added incentive to buy your greetings cards online. Take a look at www.charitecards.com/braintumourresearch and you’ll find a wide choice of cards for any occasion. Your purchase boosts the fund, so the more cards you send, the more we raise.

Pennies make Pounds

Put one of our polybox collecting boxes in your office, shop, bar or club and watch those pennies mount up.

Derek Rose, a brain tumour patient from Shenfield in Essex is a fabulous ambassador for Brain Tumour Research. In his business – Roses Bakery – he displays our posters and helps to spread awareness of this dreadful disease to his customers and the desperate need for much more research. In doing so he has successfully managed to raise hundreds of pounds just from the polyboxes on the counter in his bakery. Thank you Derek.

Send an email to Sarah@braintumourresearch.org if you can help us place a collection box in your area.
