Amazon Smile

Please help the Saxon Day Centre’s work for older people in Orpington and Bromley by shopping with AmazonSmile.

AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon that lets customers enjoy the same wide selection of products, low prices, and convenient shopping features as on amazon.co.uk. The difference is that when customers shop through the web address smile.amazon.co.uk, AmazonSmile will donate 0.5% of the net purchase price (excluding VAT, returns and shipping fees) of eligible purchases to the charitable organisations selected by customers.

So whenever you make an eligible purchase from Amazon, via AmazonSmile, Age UK Orpington & District will benefit at no additional cost to you.

How do I shop at AmazonSmile?
To shop at AmazonSmile simply go to smile.amazon.co.uk from the web browser on your computer or mobile device. You may also want to add a bookmark to smile.amazon.co.uk to make it even easier to return and start your shopping at AmazonSmile.

You can also install an Amazon Smile browser extension to your preferred internet browser. Just search for “Amazon Smile browser extension” and choose the relevant one for you. This will ensure that you don’t miss an opportunity to donate to your preferred charity.

How do I support the Saxon Day Centre when shopping on AmazonSmile?
On your first visit to smile.amazon.co.uk you need to select a charitable organisation to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping.
