Support as you shop
Another easy way to support us is through shopping – at no extra cost to you. We are a registered charity with two great initiatives – ‘Give as You Live’ and ‘AmazonSmile’ – both of which donate a percentage of your purchases to the charity of your choice. Find out more below.

Donate through ‘Give as you Live’
Over 4,000 top retailers including M&S, ASOS, Currys and eBay are part of the ‘Give as you Live’ initiative, which means they’ll make a donation to your chosen charity on your behalf each time you buy online from them at no extra cost to you. All you have to do is sign up to ‘Give as you Live’ for free and then do your shopping as normal.
If you select Northern Ireland Chest, Heart and Stroke as your chosen charity then the retailers will donate up to 7% of each purchase you make to us, supporting our ongoing services for people with chest, heart and stroke conditions. This is more important than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic, as we’re still here providing daily support to thousands of people in Northern Ireland.
As almost 90% of our vital work is funded by you, we urgently need your support. Help us continue ‘caring through COVID’ by registering with ‘Give as you Live’ and support us at no extra cost to you.
How to donate through ‘Give as you Live’
- Sign up to Give as you Live.
- Search for Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke and select us as your favourite charity.
- Browse for the store you want to shop with, click ‘shop and raise’ to go to their website and then start shopping as normal.

Donate through AmazonSmile
Many people shop on Amazon but did you know they have a dedicated charity site called AmazonSmile which has all the same products and prices but also donates to charity every time you buy something? At no extra cost to you, AmazonSmile will donate 0.5% of each purchase you make to the charity of your choice.
We are a registered charity with AmazonSmile, so if you choose us as your charity then you can support our chest, heart and stroke services when you shop, meaning we can continue caring for people through COVID and beyond.
To donate to us on AmazonSmile, just follow these simple steps:
- Go to www.smile.amazon.co.uk and sign into your Amazon account.
- Click on ‘Your Account’ > ‘Shopping programmes’ > ‘Change Your Charity’
- Search for Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke and press select. That’s it!
Remember, you need to make sure you go to www.smile.amazon.co.uk instead of the normal Amazon page each time you shop to make sure a donation is made to us.
As almost 90% of our vital work is funded by you, we urgently need your support. Help us continue ‘caring through COVID’ shopping through AmazonSmile and support us at no extra cost to you.
