Being part of the independent school community is about more than just routine. It’s about making choices that matter.
The AFIS Shopping Centre was created with that in mind, and to make everyday shopping both rewarding and purposeful, supporting AFIS Schools and Members with every purchase, at no extra cost to you.
Whether it’s your morning essentials, the week’s groceries, or a special treat, the AFIS Shopping Centre brings together trusted, well-known brands across all the things you already buy, and turns those purchases into passive donations for independent schooling in the UK
AFIS members are already shopping this way, and now you can too!
How it works
Every time you shop through the AFIS Shopping Centre:
- You get the same prices as the retailer, with no lost loyalty points or hidden fees.
- Your purchases support AFIS Schools and Members, as affiliate retailers donate a small percentage of each sale to AFIS, which allows us to support independent schooling needs, support UK families, and conduct important research. All of which gives back to the independent schooling community
- Daily essentials and special purchases alike both make a difference — from supermarket trips to luxury gifts, each click counts.
