BBC Children in Need raised £120,847 in online credit card donations last night.
It is not clear if this figure includes the Gift Aid tax reclaim on donations. The
figure is similar to that of the past two years, which UK Fundraising has covered.
In other words, the online fundraising income has stayed rather static: in 1998 
they raised £126,081online, £101,943 in 1999, and £132,014 in 2000.

through Care4free.net [last year](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/news/9911/childreninneed.html),
we are pleased to be able to offer the service to such a worthwhile cause again
