Give as you Live, the digital platform that lets shoppers raise funds for charity when they shop online, has added price comparison functionality. This will mean shoppers can find the best online deal and still raise funds for charity, at no extra cost to the shopper.
Users of the platform can now search for and compare prices from more than 2,300 retailers, each of whom agrees to donate a percentage of the sale price.
