Another update for all you AmazonSmile users :)
Amazon has donated £347.70 to Rescue Remedies as a result of AmazonSmile programme activity between 1 October and 31 December 2021

If you don't already use AmazonSmile do sign up and nominate Rescue Remedies Dog Rescue as your chosen charity. The rescue gets a regular donation at no cost to yourself, you can still use your Prime account - so what's not to love??

AmazonSmile is coming to an end:
From: AmazonSmile

Subject: Update on AmazonSmile

Dear customer,

Ten years ago, we launched AmazonSmile to make it easier for customers to support their favourite charities. However, since launch, the programme has not grown to create the impact that we had originally hoped.

AmazonSmile represents a very small portion of the total charitable contributions made through our other programmes, which we estimate at more than £100 million in 2021.

We are writing to let you know that we plan to wind down AmazonSmile by February 20, 2023. We will continue to pursue and invest in other programmes that we know will have more impact—from providing support to families in need, to using our logistics infrastructure and technology to assist communities impacted by natural disasters.

We recognise that these are difficult times for everyone, including charities, so we are providing an additional one-time donation to participating charities equivalent to six months of what they earned through the programme in 2022, and they will also be able to accrue additional donations until the program officially closes in February. Once AmazonSmile closes, charities will still be able to seek support from Amazon customers by creating their their own wish lists.

Thank you for being an Amazon customer.
