The Northmavine Community Development Company commissioned the Northmavine.com website on behalf of the community. There are costs involved in keeping the website going, for example website hosting and domain name registration. We've been looking into ways to make the website sustainable and pay for itself, instead of having to rely completely on grants. The NCDC (formerly the NDC) is a limited company with charitable status. Charity No - SC039396.

This doesn't cost you anything extra but Northmavine.com gets a small donation! Simply follow this link and shop as normal on Amazon. (it's not just books, there are lots of things!)
How it works:
Amazon automatically makes a note that you came to their website via the Northmavine.com website.
Do your online Amazon shopping as you normally would. The website and prices are exactly the same as if you had gone direct to the Amazon website.
As a 'thank you' for more customers shopping at Amazon through the Northmavine.com website, Amazon pays the website around 5% commission on sales made by people who used the link.
The Northmavine.com website doesn't get any of your personal details, such as your name, address, your credit card number, inside leg measurement, or anything like that. All that is between you and Amazon.
Every month, we get a cash payment back from Amazon, which offsets some of the website costs.
You can help the website by making a donation and becoming a sponsor. Businesses who sponsor the website will get a larger advert and a banner ad on the homepage. Contact Maree at the NCDC Office for details - maree@northmavine.com or phone 01806 544222.
