Win £1000 a day for charity at YourCharitySpace
Howard Lake | 15 October 2006 | News
Community Channel has launched a social networking area, YourCharitySpace, on its website, and is promoting its launch with a competition to win £1000 each day for the winner’s favourite competition.
The Community Channel has followed the trend in social networking sites set by websites such as MySpace, Facebook and Bebo by creating YourCharitySpace. This is “a place for people to blog about causes they support and feel passionate about, using text, images and short video clips.”
To promote the launch, which coincides with National Giving Week (16-22 October 2006), Community Channel and CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) are running a competition that enables people to win £1,000 for their favourite charity.

As this year’s National Giving Week theme is “Give it up for¦”, the competition requires entrants to make and upload a 30-60 second digital video clip via their camcorder, camera or mobile phone, saying what they are prepared to give up for their favourite charity. It could be time, money, possessions, or anything they think appropriate.
CAF will donate £1000 for the best video clip sent in every day during National Giving Week, with the proceeds going to the winner’s charity of choice.
The YourCharitySpace website includes an online donation facility in partnership with CAF where visitors can select the charity they want to give money to. The database carries the majority of UK-registered charities.
