Various charities are launching online fundraising activities in the run-up to Christmas.

Imperial Cancer Research Fund have teamed up with ShoppersUniverse to sell a [Christmas quiz](http://www.icnet.uk/boxingday)
over the Web.

[Comic Relief](http://www.comicrelief.btwebworld.com) is back just for Christmas–
so pleased were they with their online fundraising success in March this year. For
one month only their new site has a variety of features, including a new joke each
day on their advent calendar, and the option of secure online giving. Tony Robinson,
who plays Baldrick in Blackadder, will be making a celebrity guest appearance on
the Comic Relief site, which is sponsored by BT.

The Wildlife Trust is teaming up with [City 2000](http://www.city2000.com/christmas)
to offer electronic Christmas cards bearing the Trust’s logo and a link to its “
Dedicate a tree” site.
