**Here are four apps helping charities in a variety of ways that have come to the
attention of UK Fundraising in the past month.**
  

#### 󠀁[Gone for Good](https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/gone-for-good/id1055619157)󠁿

Free app on Android and Apple, [Gone for Good](http://goneforgood.org.uk/) eases
the process of giving unwanted items to charity by arranging the collection of items
of anything from small electrical goods, to large items of furniture, and clothing.

Users take a photo of the item they want to donate, give some details, and choose
a charity to donate it to, and the app will arrange a time for the charity to collect
it. Participating charities include Mind, Oxfam, The Salvation Army and Shelter.

This iOS and Android app developed by the United Nations World Food Programme recently
announced that it is raising funds to help Syrian refugee children in Lebanon. The
goal of [ShareTheMeal](https://sharethemeal.org/) is to support 1,400 children aged
3-4 for a year by providing their parents with WFP food vouchers. The free app lets
people tap their phone to share a meal by making a small donation of $0.50: the 
price it costs the WFP to feed one child for one day.
