Advantages: Donate 8p 4-Free

Disadvantages: None

There are many of these sites on the internet where one click will donate money on behalf of site sponsors. However, I have never seen as much as 8p being donated just by one click. When you visit the site (www.nspcc.org) and activate the 'Donate 4-Free' button the sponsor companies featured will each donate 2p. At the moment there are 4 companies so 8p is donated on your behalf. As usual with these sites you can only donate once per day.

The NSPCC is the UK's leading charity specialising in child protectiona and prevention of cruelty to children. The charity is the only charity in the UK with statuatory powers to enable it to safeguard children at risk.

Some alarming facts I picked up from their site:

- Each week one child in the UK dies following abuse and neglect.

- One third of girls and over one-fifth of boys aged between 12 and 15 said they were sometimes afraid to go to school because of bullying.

The site is worth a visit - I particularly liked the 'News' section where you can see what the NSPCC has been involved in recently.
Latest news is that the NSPCC has called on Channel 4 to stop the repeat of the 'Brass Eye' programme on child sex abuse after receiving many calls from survivors of child sex abuse.

I will try and visit this site daily.
