A great excuse to do some shopping - AmazonSmile

If you don’t do this already AmazonSmile is a really easy way to shop at Amazon and donate to AbilityNet at the same time, at no extra cost.

It’s really simple - when you shop at Amazon via AbilityNet's AmazonSmile link rather than the normal Amazon site, 0.5% of the sale from qualifying purchases will be donated by Amazon to AbilityNet without any impact on your pocket.

How your donations help us

AbilityNet is the leading UK charity for disability and technology. We support people of any age, living with any disability or impairment to use technology to achieve their goals at home, at work and in education. We do this by providing specialist consultancy, assessment services, free resources and we also have a network of volunteers that provide support to people remotely and in their homes.

As a charity, the revenue from our expert paid-for services is used to support our free services and charitable operations. In choosing to work with or support us you are enabling us to help people with diverse access needs to fully participate in education, work and life - combating isolation and loneliness, and increasing independence. AmazonSmile is a great way to support us with no associated cost and minimal effort. Where someone can donate directly to our cause it is appreciated.
