The Royal Mail and Royal Bank of Scotland Group have again teamed up to give £1 
million this Christmas to the children’s charities voted for by the newspaper’s 
readers.
The Royal Bank of Scotland has for the past seven years been donating £
1 million to the top 10 charities supported by its employees during the year. For
the second year running though the choice of recipients will be decided by Daily
Mail readers.

The first stage process simply requires readers to nominate their favourite British-
registered children’s charity. They should write in, explaining in a few sentences
why they think their favourite charity deserves the winning £100,000 donation. The
ninety charities that are runners-up will receive £10,000 each.

You can e-mail ch*****@**************co.uk or write to RBS Daily Mail Charity Campaign
PO Box 241, Alton, Hants, GU34 9BE.

Nominations must be received by the Daily Mail by 29 November 2007. A shortlist 
will be chosen by a team of judges and featured in the Daily Mail from 13 December.

A telephone vote by readers will then determine the overall winner of the £100,000
prize. Voting will close on 16 December, and the winner will be announced in the
newspaper on Boxing Day.

[The Children’s Trust](http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2614047300) has been
quick of the mark, announcing the opportunity to members of its Facebook group and
giving them suggested texts for them to use in nominating the charity.
