Websites

As the world has moved increasingly online, so have charities, and it is rare these days to find a charity without a web presence.  Some charities, mostly bigger ones, use their sites for fundraising while others make use of the growing number of bespoke charity donations sites such as JustGiving, bmycharity and VirginMoneyGiving.

www.civilsociety.co.uk publishes regular reviews of charities’ websites.  Please email tania.mason@civilsociety.co.uk if you would like to suggest a website for us to review.
