A new website that allows visitors to compare and switch gas and/or electricity 
for free will give £5 to charity for each completed switch.
CharitiesPower.co.uk,
an Energywatch approved service launched by UK Power is looking for charities to
sign up to its service. The service is free both for charities and consumers. Consumers
visit the site to compare the cost of gas from their present supplier and a list
of all licensed suppliers.

The organisation is able to make donations to charity from the small commission 
it receives from suppliers for each successful switch.

Website manager Sam Hamilton said that he had approached a number of national and
local charities, but was still looking for more to sign up to the website. CharitiesPower.
co.uk can provide buttons for use on charities websites, and any information charities
might need to publicise the service.
