Under the scheme, Amazon will donate 0.5% of eligible purchases made through AmazonSmile to the charity of your choice.
There are no extra fees or charges for this service. Simply select the Foundation as your charity, do your shopping, and continue to support the work we do at no extra cost.
AmazonSmile supports more than one million charities and has so far raised over £200m for good causes all over the world.
