I've decided to offer some ad space on this site to charities for free.

Which Charities

I'll be focusing on charities that concern themselves with human welfare, so things like:

• Child and family welfare
• Support and nurture of the disabled or sick
• Care for homeless people
• Learning and development
• Human Rights

(That's not to say I won't consider other areas, or that I've thought of everything - so I'll be more than happy to discuss individual cases - just drop me a line via the contact page)

The Ads

The ads will appear immediately after the content in the side column on most pages. The specific ad shown on any given page will be randomly picked from a database of participating charities.

The adverts will consist of a 220 by 80 pixel static image, linked to a page on the advertising charity's website.

That's a box this size - big enough to catch the eye and promote the cause; compact enough that I can drop it easily into any and every page.

The advertising charity can provide a suitable 220 by 80 pixel image, or (only with the advertiser's prior consent and final approval) I can probably create a suitable ad image using graphics from their website.

Interested?

If you work for, are connected with, or know of a suitable charity organisation that might benefit from participating in this scheme, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Why Am I Doing This?

Because I can. It costs me almost nothing to give away that little bit of space on the page - so why not?

Is it Really Free?

I will not charge for these ads - not now - not ever. For the (indefinite)duration of the scheme, the ads will remain free. This is not a loss leader or other similar marketing gimmick - I have no intention of ever charging for them.
