For every PEP bought from netPEP the company will contribute the estimated first
year’s annual fee to the Charity. For example, if you invest £5,000 netPEP will 
hand over £17.50.

Richard Carswell, netPEP¹s co-founder said: “We believe many people will be happier
to invest in a PEP in the knowledge that it will help sick children.

“With the April deadline fast approaching and ever-increasing numbers using the 
Internet, we think that a PEP that generates income for charity in this way will
be very popular. By joining forces with GOSHCC, in what we believe is the first 
online link between a charity and a PEP provider, we are offering a chance for investors
to lock in their tax-free PEP allowance and help those less fortunate.”
