John Low explained CAF’s involvement: “We want to see an even stronger culture of giving in the UK and that means encouraging more young people to get involved in helping charities”, he said. “I urge charities to nominate young people who raise money or volunteer with them. This competition will not only highlight the work of young people but also the causes they support.” The closing date for entries is 11 July 2008. http://news.five.tv/news.php?news=638 * **[Newspaper and TV coverage still matters for disaster appeals](https://fundraising.co.uk/2008/06/24/newspaper-and-tv-coverage-still-matters-disaster-appeals/)**( 24 June 2008) * **[Buyoncegivetwice hosts free seminars at The Ritz](https://fundraising.co.uk/2008/09/16/buyoncegivetwice-hosts-free-seminars-ritz/)**( 16 September 2008) * **[Charities Online Accounts Awards 2009 now open](https://fundraising.co.uk/2008/10/14/charities-online-accounts-awards-2009-now-open/)**( 14 October 2008)
