Smartchange.org has launched its first free services to the voluntary sector, offering to connect charities to corporations and their employees. They are inviting charities throughout the United Kingdom to register their details on the Smartchange web site( www.smartchange.org). Smartchange’s information service to corporations is aimed to encourage “millions of employees” to donate funds and volunteer their time to charities. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert.

Gareth recognised that corporate donors and individuals can find it difficult to identify volunteer organisations in their area that fit in with their objectives. As a result, [Smartchange](http://www.smartchange.org) will “give greater exposure to a charity’s regular activities as well as their special projects.” Conveniently, the organisation share offices with two of their strategic partners – Community Action Network (CAN) and TimeBank. Next year smartchange will offer “additional new media services” to its members so that charities, regardless of size, can benefit from new technology.
