If running 26.5 miles in a Fred Flintstone costume or dodging jellyfish in the icy English Channel seems like a bit of a stretch then fear not – there is an easier way of donating to your favourite charity. Music industry stalwarts Lee Cannon and Jonny Woolf, with the support of many of the UK’s leading charities, have today launched an innovative new music platform that uniquely combines legal music downloads with charitable giving. For the first time ever, music lovers can donate as they download with fairsharemusic.com - at no extra cost and with a huge music library to choose from that includes the hottest new releases.
Fusing the best of iTunes with the ‘feelgood’ factor of donating, the easy to use site lets music lovers rapidly search, browse and download tracks directly into their existing music library. With prices starting at just 79p per track, over 8.5 million tracks to choose from and tailor-made playlists and charts, it is like every other popular music site – except for every download it donates half the profit to charity.
With an impressive line-up of founding charity partners already on board, users can also donate where it matters most to them. Founding partners include Amnesty International, British Heart Foundation, British Red Cross, Centrepoint, Friends of the Earth, Great Ormond Street Hospital, NSPCC, Oxfam, Sue Ryder Care, Teenage Cancer Trust and WWF.
