Dear John,

We’re always grateful for the kindness and generosity and backing of supporters like you, who make vital work to address UK poverty possible. We’re emailing today to highlight three ways you might want to further help, over the next few weeks.

1: Donate next week and your donation will be doubled

The Big Give is one of the biggest fundraising moments of the year for our Your Local Pantry network. Any donations made via the website between December 2nd and 9th will automatically be matched, meaning your own donation will go twice as far.

You may have seen the new report showing that Pantries now save people in low-income neighbourhoods £27 per visit on average, and also lead to improved health, reduced need for crisis support, increased community connection and less financial stress. They’re amazing projects!

We’ll email you again next Tuesday when the Big Give opens and any support you can give would be hugely appreciated.

2: Help us earn donations from retailers

We’re signed up to a system called EasyFundraising, which means thousands of online retailers give us donations if our supporters buy from their websites. It’s very easy to use, and can make a big difference at no extra cost to you. We’d be delighted if you’d take a look and consider signing up.

3: Order our bargain book bundle ahead of Christmas

For the next few weeks we’re offering 25% off if you buy a bundle of four books that we’ve helped to produce (down from £39.98 to just £30). They’re great individually as Christmas presents, or would make a lovely addition to your church’s resources.
