**Community Channel has launched a social networking area, YourCharitySpace, on 
its website, and is promoting its launch with a competition to win £1000 each day
for the winner’s favourite competition.**

The Community Channel has followed the trend in social networking sites set by websites
such as MySpace, Facebook and Bebo by creating YourCharitySpace. This is “a place
for people to blog about causes they support and feel passionate about, using text,
images and short video clips.”

To promote the launch, which coincides with National Giving Week (16-22 October 
2006), Community Channel and CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) are running a competition
that enables people to win £1,000 for their favourite charity.

As this year’s National Giving Week theme is “Give it up for¦”, the competition 
requires entrants to make and upload a 30-60 second digital video clip via their
camcorder, camera or mobile phone, saying what they are prepared to give up for 
their favourite charity. It could be time, money, possessions, or anything they 
think appropriate.

CAF will donate £1000 for the best video clip sent in every day during National 
Giving Week, with the proceeds going to the winner’s charity of choice.

The YourCharitySpace website includes an online donation facility in partnership
with CAF where visitors can select the charity they want to give money to. The database
carries the majority of UK-registered charities.
