eduPayment.co.uk is pleased to announce that due to an agreement with Aflite.co.uk; even local shops that have an online presence could now be able to be listed on eduPayment.
We know it is important to help support local businesses, and so we have identified a way in which local businesses can be listed alongside major brands on eduPayment's School Fundraising Marketplace.
This means that local people will be able to shop online with local suppliers and still raise funds for their chosen school, college or university. Infact eduPayment can increase local businesses national exposure.
eduPayment is please to announce that Marks and Spencers, John Lewis, and ASDA are now listed on eduPayment. Of course when you shop with eduPayment your school, college or univeristy will earn money.
Marks and Spencers, John Lewis and ASDA join an already impressive list of brands old and new, this list includes Amazon, TESCO, HMV, Toys R Us, play, ticketmaster, the Trainline.com...and around 500 others.
So when you buy anything from a Train Ticket to concert ticket or a fast food takeaway to pet food you can earn money for your school when you shop using www.eduPayment.co.uk
Remember with eduPayment.co.uk shoppers deal direct with the Retailers, there are no fees and nothing is ever more expensive - you don't even need to register.
Every school needs to raise funds, which is of course why eduPayment was designed, and lots of schools use events such as Summer or Christmas fairs for school fundraising.
At these events there are lots of stalls:- some of which rely on parent donations (a cake stall for example); some stalls require willing victims (wet sponge stocks for example) and some stalls require the PTA to spend money in order to raise money (food stalls for example).
If you can lower your costs then you can raise more money.
For the stalls or raffles where new stock or services are required it is often possible to get local businesses to provide these items free of charge, but only if they are approached in the right way.
Local businesses are not charities therefore the request for free stock or prizes is all about putting an attractive proposition to your chosen 'benefactors'. Read more...

It is now becoming very obvious that the schools that put a link on their own home page are earning much more commission than those that don't.
This is probably because it constantly reminds people to use eduPayment when shopping online and because it makes it easy to find eduPayment when they want to use it. Read more...
