The Charity Commission has announced the latest winners in its monthly online services prize draw for small charities.
Since June 2006 the Commission has been holding a random £1,000 monthly prize draw to encourage smaller charities with an income of under £250,000 to use its online services. All smaller charities completing their annual returns, sending in their annual report or accounts or simply updating their details online are eligible to win.
The Commission reports that over 18,000 charities have completed their annual returns online this year. All charities can access online services through a secure login.

In recent months, the £1,000 prize has been split between two charities, but from now on a single £1,000 prize will be on offer each month.
Andrew Hind, the Commission’s Chief Executive, said: “Seventeen smaller charities have already won cash simply by using our online services to meet requirements they have to comply with anyway. £1,000 can make a big difference to your charity’s work so why not give our online facility a try?”
