International Festival of Town Pipers 2006
Fundraising
The International Guild of Town Pipers Ltd is now a registered charity, and we are constantly in need of funds, not only to finance our International Festivals, but to finance Renaissance Loud Wind workshops and other educational ventures, help new bands get started, and to maintain and expand this website. I am currently researching and testing other fundraising methods via the web, and I would welcome your comments on this and any other method of raising funds. Watch this space.

Just to say that I have joined Easysearch and hope that others will do so too. Once one starts exploring, it quickly becomes clear that buying all sorts of things is not only cheaper this way but benefits the Guild as well. One soon gets into the habit of doing things this way rather than another.

There are now three easy ways for you to help raise funds
for The International Guild of Town Pipers Ltd.
If you do nothing else, please consider making either the Everyclick search engine or Easysearch.org.uk your homepage.
Every time you make a search, the guild will receive a donation, with no cost or inconvenience whatsoever to yourself.
If you buy online, the chances are that your favourite online shop is signed up to Easyfundraising.org.uk, so with a simple log-in process, you can get the guild sizeable donations from the companies you buy from, sometimes with discounts for yourself.
Shop Online and Raise Funds
easyfundraising is a shopping directory listing some of your favourite online stores including Amazon, NEXT, Debenhams, John Lewis, Toys R Us, HMV and over 500 others. Just use the links on the easyfundraising site whenever you shop online and, at no extra cost to you, we'll receive a free donation of up to 15% from every purchase you make. It really is that simple!
It’s completely FREE to register and you won’t pay a penny more for your shopping when you use the easyfundraising site. In fact you can even SAVE MONEY as many retailers offer discounts, special offers and even 'e-vouchers' exclusive to easyfundraising.
If you shop online anyway then why not raise valuable extra funds for us by using this scheme. All you need to do is visit http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/townpipers and when you register, select International Guild of Town Pipers Ltd as the organisation you wish to support.
Search the Web and Raise Funds
You can also raise funds when you search the Web - with easysearch, a search engine with a difference!
When you search the Web with easysearch, you’ll raise funds for us with every search you make. Just like easyfundraising it’s completely free to use and if you make just 10 searches a day, you could raise £20-£25 a year - or more - for us, just by switching to easysearch.
What’s more, easysearch is a 'super' search engine that combines the strengths of several search providers together - Yahoo!, MSN Live Search, Ask.com and many more. easysearch tracks down the most relevant and accurate results from across the Web, which means you’ll find what you’re looking for quickly and easily every time - all in one ‘easy’ search.
Check out our unique easysearch page at http://townpipers.easysearch.org.uk and use it every time you search the Web.
Or, if you prefer, use the Everyclick search engine by clicking on the annoying little flashing icon to the right:- (I may change this to one of the others they have on offer). Easysearch tots up the amount contributed and displays it on the search page weekly. This one displays a running total. We'll see which one raises the most for the guild!
