**CharityDays, the Internet Service Provider (ISP) that donates money to UK charities,
has reached its second anniversary and reports that it “has faithfully delivered
on its promise of paying out to its member charities every quarter.”**

CharityDays was launched in October 2001 in a crowded and very competitive market.
Other companies had already established charity affinity ISPs, such as Care4free,
but most had failed within a short time.

CharityDays however has survived and its service had won accolades: Internet Magazine
voted CharityDays 4th Best ISP in The UK in 2002 and Practical Internet magazine
voted DAYS as a top five unmetered provider.

CharityDays now has over 125 member charities, including [Oxfam](https://fundraising.co.uk/tag/oxfam/),
Cancer Research UK, NCH, RSPCA and Youth Hostels Association. Saskya Huggins, Corporate
Partnerships Manager for Oxfam said:

“We have been promoting CharityDays to our supporters for over a year now and the
product has proven excellent in relation to both take up and the donations we receive
every quarter. Celebrity Graham Norton became our 1000th sign up earlier this year.
CharityDays is now one of our key affinity schemes.”

CharityDays has just redesigned its Web site and has announced new services including
a £12.99 unmetered anytime product, Home ADSL broadband from £23.99, with 1Mb costing
£36.99, and a new

£29.99 all inclusive broadband hardware and installation bundle. Charity donations
for each product remain unchanged at 60% of the company’s income. These vary from
£1.54 per month per user to over £12 per month depending on which type of subscription
supporters take out. CharityDays also offers services tailored to business customers.
