**Charity Technology Trust (CTT) is offering the pocket-sized Flip video camera 
to eligible UK registered charities and charitable housing organisations through
its CTXchange programme.**

[Flip video cameras](http://support.theflip.com/en-uk/home) are very easy to use,
enabling users with any level of experience to create, edit and share movies easily.
UK Fundraising has used them since October 2008 to record interviews, training sessions
and conference presentations. The cameras can be used by charity staff, volunteers
and constituents to support campaigning, fundraising, marketing and social media
activities through digital story-telling.

Flip cameras are now discontinued but maker Cisco is making them available through
[CTXchange](http://www.ctt.org/ctxchange) on a first come, first served basis.

 “Corporate Social Responsibility is part of our DNA at Cisco.” said Patrick Verret,
Cisco corporate affairs programme manager. “Through our long-time partnership with
CTT, we hope to empower non-profit organisations to use human and technology networks
to multiply their impact, and believe that video is one of the most powerful mediums
for sharing their message.”

Note that there are quite detailed guidelines about entitlement and eligibility 
to receive a Flip. For example, they are not available for distribution to schools,
health insurance or health plan providers, business or professional associations,
agricultural organisations, mutual organisations, and quite a few other types of
groups.
