The Give More campaign, which encourages people across the UK to give more to the
charities and good causes they support, is promoting a week of action from 16 to
22 September.

The Give More Challenge has the support of businesses such as UBM and youth organisations
such as the Scouts, and it urges the public to give more more time, money and energy
to their favourite causes. Pledges to do so will be displayed on the Give More Challenge
map to demonstrate the scale of other people's involvement. The organisers hope 
to see the map covered with pledges.

The Give More campaign has already secured over 30,000 pledges from people across
the UK. Like those pledging to get involved, people who take the quiz will receive
tips on what they can do to enhance their charitable giving and support.

Tamar Ghosh, Director at [Give More](http://www.givemore.org.uk/gmccommunitysignup),
said: "The Give More Challenge means a new way for us to engage with existing audiences,
as well as a chance to reach out to new groups…

"We’d like to encourage charities and community groups across the UK to get on board
with the Challenge and help us reach as many people as possible with the message
that giving more can be done in many ways that are easy, suit the individual and
make a palpable difference to causes or communities we care about.”
