Subscription services can provide a handy source of regular income – here are five run by charities, and two more benefitting good causes.
Shelterbox Book Club
Shelterbox’s Book Club launched in November to help raise funds and bring supporters closer to the people the charity helps. It costs £10 a month, with gift memberships for three, six or 12 months also available. Members vote on three specially selected titles every six weeks, hand-picked by ShelterBox to reflect the people and places around the world where the charity works with the winning title then be posted out.
