**Good causes have until 18^(th) September to apply to become one of this year’s
featured charities in The Times Christmas Appeal.**

All charities are eligible, and submissions should include brief background information
about the charity as well as more detailed information on specific projects and 
case studies that illustrate their work. This should include any analysis of the
success of these programmes in terms of their outcomes.

The Times commits to running a story featuring the work of its chosen charities 
each day where possible during December and early January and so if keen to receive
applications that contain eight or so distinct story ideas that illustrate the work
of the charity and, in particular, provide a wide variety of individual human interest
stories and illustrated reports from the field. The Times is also interested in 
ideas for video content, such as a short video to introduce the charity or cause
and very short subsequent films on aspect of its work.

charities that find simple solutions for tough humanitarian challenges.’
