Last updated: 14 November 2026. This disclosure applies in every country the site covers: the UK, the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Ireland. Give it a Go is a UK project. Some forms on these pages are still stubs.
Affiliate disclosure
Some links on Give it a Go will be affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a commission. It does not cost you any more. We recommend products and materials because they are useful for the job, not because a retailer pays a higher rate. Prices shown were checked on the date given on the page and may change.
Shop links go to a retailer in your selected country. Until Daniel has added a tracking tag or publisher ID, those links are ordinary product searches or shop homepages — not tracking URLs. We will not invent a tracking URL. When a tag is in place, an affiliate link may earn us a commission, and it will be marked with rel="sponsored".
This disclosure is written to meet the spirit of the rules that apply in each country we cover: the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and Competition and Markets Authority (CMA); the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) endorsement guides; the Australian Association of National Advertisers and the ACCC; Ad Standards in Canada; the New Zealand Advertising Standards Authority; and the Advertising Standards Authority of Ireland (ASAI). If we are paid when you buy, we say so clearly, near the links, in plain English — not only in a terms page.
Trader adverts
Local tradespeople will be able to pay for a featured spot on a guide or in an area. Those placements will be labelled as an advert. A “Find a local trade” button may also be an affiliate or referral link (for example to a lead platform such as Bark). If it is, we will say so on the button or directly beside it.
Display adverts
Guide pages have marked slots for a small number of display adverts. They are empty for now. We will not place adverts between individual steps of a how-to.
What we collect
When forms go live, we will collect the email address you give us for a printable checklist, and any optional opt-in to occasional DIY tips. Trader enquiries will include the name, contact details and message you send. We will use that information only to send what you asked for, to reply, and — if you have opted in — to send tips. You can unsubscribe at any time.
