Another potentially useful site for local and regional charities has emerged. [UKVillages.co.uk](http://www.ukvillages.co.uk)
is rolling out its network of communities to offer by August a nationwide database
of information on 28,000 UK locations, including villages. Residents, which of course
includes charity fundraising staff and volunteers, will be able to enter details
of local events and services.

Charities can already take advantage of coverage on Newsquest’s growing range of
[town and county-based Web sites](http://www.thisisyork.co.uk/othersites.html) and
on TownPages, which was launched in May 1998
