Think that Christmas present will go to waste? Why not change it into cash for a good cause this year!
Has your granny given you a present you will never use, or how about you discover you have 2 sets of the same gift? Then get onto www.jumbleaid.com to raise cash for a good cause of your choice.
http://www.jumbleaid.com/ was launched in 2008 and aims to find new homes for unwanted possessions, just like any gifts you have lying around after Christmas, to help raise money for charity.
The website is free to join and simple to use: you suggest an amount to be donated in return for your ‘Gifts' and choose the charity to which you want the money to be passed on to.
JumbleAID can donate money to over 25,000 different charities listed on our Charities Trust database with an average donation for an item being £15.26 going directly into a Charities Trust Account. Here we can then add on any Gift Aid and distribute the funds with less transaction charges to your nominated charity.
Another mans rubbish is another mans treasure!
Items posted on the site range from the usual jumble sale items (toys, games and household goods) to the more unusual like a Ford Escort and even paving stones being exchanged in return for donations.
According to JumbleAID if only 1% of the adult population were to put one item a month on to the website with a average donation of just £2, over £10 million per year would be raised for charity!
So get your old gifts online today and raise money for your chosen good cause!
