The Times is looking for charities who would like to benefit from its Christmas 
Appeal 2007.
In 2006 the Red Cross was selected and readers raised around £150,000.
Two charities benefited in 2005 – The Freeplay Foundation and The Salvation Army
with more than £240,000 being raised for the Freeplay Foundation alone.

Charities should submit an application that includes background details about the
organisation, its history and its work. Any specific project or projects should 
be outlined clearly with an explanation of the purpose and goal of this particular
work. The Times supports charities that will benefit from the newspaper’s ability
to get the charity’s message out to its readership.

The Christmas appeal runs for a minimum of four weeks, sometimes longer and the 
paper is keen to work with the charity partner to generate a large amount of information
and background about the organisation and its work. Of particular interest are charities
that can provide a wide variety of individual human interest sstories and illustrated
reports from the field during andbeyond the lifespan of the appeal.
