Other ways to give

The generous efforts of our fundraisers and supporters help us give those living with JIA, their families, friends, carers and health professionals, the specialist support they need. But you don’t need to run a marathon to be able to support our work. Any funds you raise or gifts you give are hugely appreciated!

There are lots of other different ways you can support NRAS, from shopping online to giving through your salary, recycling and joining our lottery.

Online Shopping

Give As You Live

Give as you Live is a free and easy way to raise money for your favourite charity, just by shopping online. Once you’ve signed up, you can browse our website for the store you want to shop with. Click ‘shop now’ to go to their website, then continue to shop as normal.

Give as you Live also offer ways of raising funds for NRAS just for searching the web or purchasing Gift cards.

eBay

If you sell an item you can use the advanced selling tool to select a charity and donate a percentage of your sale (anything from 10%-100%). When your item sells, this money is securely deposited to us through PayPal, who waive most of their fees so we can receive as much of the money as possible.

Donating a percentage to charity often makes people more likely to bid for your auction items, and to make higher bids too. Everybody wins!

On eBay, you can select NRAS as your favourite charity by logging in and selecting ‘my favourite charity’.

Recycling for good causes

We can provide self-pack envelopes for: 

  • Any jewellery – gold, silver, costume jewellery, watches, broken and damaged items (like odd earrings, snapped chains or items with missing stones). 
  • Any unwanted banknotes – old and new, UK and foreign banknotes

If you already have a large amount of items or would like to collect more over a period of time then why not start a Recycling Project! Contact Recycling for Good Causes and they will send you a sack to put your items in and when it is of an acceptable weight (10-30kg), they will then arrange collection at a convenient time for you (free of charge).  In addition to jewellery and currency, you can donate a much wider range of items in Recycling Project sacks including:

  • Mobile Phones
  • Cameras (old film, digital and video)
  • Stamps (Loose, single, albums, first-day covers, presentation packs, collections)

Give a car

Giveacar is a non-profit fundraising organisation that raises money for UK charities by scrapping and selling old cars.

Our salvage partner guarantees a return for every car we give them – regardless of condition!

To arrange collection of a car, visit Giveacar.co.uk or call 020 7736 4242, quoting NRAS as your chosen charity.
