When I first started surfing I came across Care4free an ISP that promised to give both an initial donation plus a share of its profits to charity.This seemed a great idea, coupled with the suggestion that as soon as possible they would a 1p a minute flat rate charge.

WOW! THis is one of those sites you click onto and spend ages exploring. The home page has loads and loads of tempting links to click onto. Care4free is actually a service provider which enables your chosen charity to benefit financially from the time you spend online. You get fast dial-up speeds and reliable connectivity, up to 5 e-mail boxes, 15MB of free Web space, Local call charges etc. There are links for all the latest news headlines, sport, alternative health (one of my particular interests) numerous 'lifestyle chanels and the site has been designed in a striking red, white and blue colour scheme. So onto the charity bit. ...
