Fund raising the easy way
2nd Bracknell has joined the "buy.at" network which means that we earn commission on things you buy online if you go through our online shop at http://buy.at/2ndbracknell. You'll find over 80 retailers there including M&S, Expedia, play.com, Amazon, John Lewis, CD-wow, Thorntons and Field & Trek. You pay the normal online price which is generally less than on the High Street so you can raise money for us and still save money.
