Make cost free donations to the Plumbers’ Charity

It is totally legitimate as it is Amazon, so don’t worry that you are shopping elsewhere.

What a brilliant way to support our charities such as:

· The Lord Mayor’s NHS Livery Kitchen Initiative – providing well needed meals to NHS staff

· Aquabox – who send emergency water filters to disaster zones

· Water Aid – who we help train plumbers to maintain new community water systems in Nepal

Here are easy to follow instructions on how to set up this amazing way of helping our charities. You can also read them below.

So, what are you waiting for? Get cracking spending and know that every purchase you make is going towards supporting the superb charities that we work with. And what’s more it’s Amazon donating to The Plumbers Charity.

For more information and regular updates on the Charities that we are currently supporting please go to our website charity page.
