LocalCause, a new portal for the UK’s smaller charities and voluntary organisations,
is looking for 10 organisations from 14 regions across the UK to help test their
new site.

Applicants will be invited to create a web presence for their cause, adding “a reasonable
quantity of content” and providing feedback on their user experience.

Those selected to take part in the testing process will receive three months free
subscription once the site launches. LocalCause aims to offer smaller charities 
the chance to have a “feature rich, content-managed web presence” for £95 a year.

All the charities’ content is aggregated onto the LocalCause website, with the aim
of providing a bigger platform for individual charities.
