Calendarcheck.co.uk launches next week with the aim of enabling charities both to
list and promote their fundraising events and plan ahead and avoid clashes with 
other fundraising events.

Events can be searched by date range, charity and type, both nationally and by region.
The creators of the free online calendar is urging national and local charities 
to upload details of their events. More than 20 charities have already agreed to
use the site, including Cancer Research UK, the British Red Cross, NSPCC, Breakthrough
Breast Cancer and RNIB.

Nick Wayne from Calendar Check said: “The whole idea came from the number of times
the Calendar Check team has attended charitable committee meetings which have ground
to a halt because no-one could decide on a date. And even once a date has been agreed,
there was no effective way of finding out whether it would be in competition with
another event which would dilute the potential uptake of tickets and attendance”.

Cancer Research UK’s Nic Clarke said: “Cancer Research UK Relay For Life is really
looking forward to working with Calendar Check on this exciting new resource that
will help our supporters maximise their fundraising efforts.”
