Gainsborough: Support charity while you do your online shopping
Bibic, which works with families in the town, would like people to register for Give as you Live and a percentage of what they spend is donated to the charity.
Carla Bloomfield, Fundraising Team Member at bibic, which helps young people with conditions affecting their social, communication and learning abilities, said: “We know that many of our supporters shop online and by signing up to Give as you Live it means that they can support us without parting with extra cash.”

“It’s a great way of getting some retail therapy in while also supporting a great cause and in the run up to Christmas it really means you can give us and all the children and families we help a wonderful gift too.”
“The money that we raise with Give as you Live in 2014 will go towards the cost of a specialist therapist to work directly with children with conditions like autism, Cerebral Palsy and Down’s syndrome.”
