**The Aspinall Foundation have launched a new fundraising application on social 
network site Facebook. Developed with assistance from London-based BT agilemedia
iDonate, the application enables Facebook users to purchase an Aspinall Foundation
roundel for a suggested donation of £1.50.**

In addition to donating, users can choose to send the badge to a friend as a gift
to spread the charity’s message further.

The badge includes a monthly giving element. It remains on the user’s profile for
one month, after which it can be renewed with a further donation, enabling the user
to pledge an ongoing commitment to the work of the charity.

All payments via the application are securely processed by BT iDonate.

said: “Working with BT on the Facebook application is enabling us to potentially
reach not just 8 million people in the UK but the 70 million users worldwide. We
are pleased that BT chose to support us in this way.”
