Here's how it works: click on either of the Amazon buttons on the Homepage or on an Amazon-related item (eg a DVD of Downton Abbey) and any completed purchase made on amazon.co.uk or amazon.com during that visit will generate a commission for this website, which is then passed on to the charity as an annual donation. You don't even have to buy the item which first took you to the Amazon site. In 2012, £840 was donated to Merlin this way, adding to the £101.25 raised in the 6 months to December 2011. So, any time you buy anything from Amazon, please consider doing so via this site - you'll be helping a great cause. Thank you.  To find out more about Merlin and Hugh's other charity interests click here.
