Sandown & Shanklin Inshore Lifeboat

Website wins another prize.

1st of April 2008

Sandown & Shanklin Inshore Lifeboat website wins yet another prize for being an example 'Optimize Your Website sit' with www.easyfundraising.org.uk and received £25.00 for winning the competition in March 2008.

SSILB have been using this great free service from easyfundraising, in the aid of raising funds for their Inshore Lifeboat, which needs a new boathouse and to assist in the running costs of the service which covers some 72 nautical miles South of the Isle of Wight.

Sandown & Shanklin inshore Lifeboat IT Officer Richard Chantler was e-mailed by easyfundraising Marketing & PR Manager Becky Coleman who informed him of the great news.

"We were very impressed with Sandown and Shanklin Inshore Lifeboat's easyfundraising and easysearch page. It's user-friendly, colourful, contains all the information supporters need to know about raising funds with easyfundraising and easysearch.  We particularly liked the use of our new easysearch search box which allows supporters to search the web and raise funds direct from the SSILB homepage. We'd like to congratulate SSILB for their hard work, we would like to urge all supporters to use easyfundraising and easysearch EVERY time they go online as every purchase and search made helps the crew continue their vital work." Becky Coleman, Marketing and PR Manager, easyfundraising.

As you may be aware, Richard does this voluntary, along with his other roles within Sandown & Shanklin Inshore Lifeboat and aims to give as much information to the viewers of their website.

"The website has come on from strength to strength and has grown to what you see today. I am always looking into new ways to improve the website, whether it is a suggestion or a way to raise funds for SSILB, I stumbled on easyfundraising and was intrigued to see if this would be a benefit for SSILB. As my family are on-line shoppers, easyfundraising was a great way to raise funds whilst doing what we had been doing for years, yet not raising funds for a great cause and not at a cost onto the shopping bill. If we could get people who view our website to even do one search with the easysearch on our menu system (on the left), it will raise around 1p for that search and just think if they then use the search engine as their home page or main search engine? easyfundraising has been a real benefit for SSILB and hope that you will register with us and help support Sandown & Shanklin Inshore Lifeboat whilst you shop or search on-line"

So far to date we have raised £37.41 and would love that to increase.

We will give an update on the funds raised via this great idea by easyfundraising on a regular basis.
