ST Luke’s Hospice is urging their supporters to change their shopping habits this Christmas.

The hospice has chosen Giving Tuesday – dubbed as the anecdote to Black Friday and the Cyber Monday – to launch their Christmas campaign ‘Your Gift to St Luke’s’.

The campaign, which kicks off today, encourages people to raise cash for the Hospice simply by changing how they shop online.

With Christmas just around the corner there is potential to raise thousands of pounds for the community based charity.

Shoppers can raise donations for St Luke’s every time they shop online from favourite stores like Debenhams via Care2Save.

Care2Save was launched in October 2014, the site was born out of the hospice sector in response to a need to find new and innovative ways of raising vital funds.

The charity is the only shopping website that gives all of the money that it makes directly to people in need.

Of the money raised, 80 per cent goes to a registered charity of the shopper’s choice and the remaining 20 per cent goes to the Care2Save Charitable Trust, which supports hospice and palliative care across the UK.

Matron Wendy Field, who is helping launch the campaign, said: “I really hope local people will get behind our campaign.

“We believe that Care2Save has the potential to raise thousands of pounds for St Luke’s, and Giving Tuesday seemed like the perfect opportunity to ask people to be a bit more charitable with their Christmas shopping.”
