• Help others to SMILE by raising funds for your local community SMILE was largely created to raise
funds for the local community, whether it be for schools, social or sporting clubs, trade associations or charities. Thus, all 'profits' from the sale of a SMILE card will be donated to local causes and, assuming an administration cost of £5 per user, this means that £15 of a £20 12-month SMILE card (and £10 of a £15 12-month SMILE card 'renewal') will go back into the local community. Purchasers of the SMILE
card can select the local cause they wish the donation to go to. Moreover, by spreading the word about SMILE and recommending purchasers to nominate a particular local cause when purchasing their card, ANYONE can raise funds for their favourite local,
recognised social, community or charitable organisation they like. Here are
some examples: Trinity Hospice, Belleville
School PTA, Thrive, Battersea Ironsides, Ascension Balham Hill, The
Nightingale Walk, Treesforcities.org or The Abbeville Restaurant
(First Step Trust).
...we will donate £15 to the local community organisation of your choice
Referring
local people to SMILE is a great way of raising funds for your
organisation, charity, PTA, theatre group, local trade organisation,
your company's favourite charity or the like, while supporting local
businesses at the same time. Mention SMILE in your press releases, in
your e-newsletter, on your website or at your next meeting, and any
time someone purchases a £20 SMILE membership and nominates your organisation... We
believe SMILE is a great way of raising money for local organisations,
so - to support you even more - if you work with us to sell SMILE cards
directly through your website, e-newsletters or at a local event, your organisation will receive 75% of the revenue. The introductory cost of a 12-month SMILE membership is £20, so... If
your organisation can help spread the word about SMILE or sell the
SMILE card's directly, there may be opportunities for free publicity in
our partner publications Essential Local magazine, InsideBattersea.co.uk, InsideBalham.co.uk and InsideClapham.co.uk. Please ask for details.
If you are interested in raising money for your organisation
• For every £20 SMILE card purchased, £15 will be donated to the local cause of your choice
TrinityHospice.org.uk
If a particular cause is not nominated at the time of purchase, all 'profits' from the card will go to the local cause of our choice, currently Clapham's Trinity Hospice.
To
raise money for your preferred organisation, all you or your organisation
needs to do is email, tweet, Facebook or tell friends, family, work or
community colleagues, PTA's and the rest of the world
about SMILE, and for every
new person who buys a 12-month SMILE card at £20 and nominates your preferred local cause...
So go tell the world, and raise money for your local community at the same time!
And if you'd like to take advantage of the deals yourself (with the majority of your investment going to your favourite local cause, why not Purchase your SMILE Card now and get your community SMILING!
