Why ValueBond
ValueBond was started in 2005 as the world's first charity loyalty program and has been developing ever since. Its founder, Gareth Llewelyn's, vision has always been to tie charitable cost free giving to everyday events such as shopping or travelling. In the past 2 years, the advent of the smart phone has put much more technology in the hands of the consumer and this has allowed ValueBond to expand its reach into all consumers.
The idea being that each person who has the ValueBond App can help someone less fortunate than themselves by scanning a ValueBond code while costing them nothing. In effect their action triggers a donation paid for by the sponsoring company. The sponsoring company gets the consumer to take part in some form of promotion which does not involve the consumer spending anything.
The objective of the ValueBond program is to mobilise many millions of people to help raise money for charity though there actions and without costing them a thing.
