A handy calendar listing non-profit events & campaigns

The Count Me In Calendar is an invaluable resource to help you keep track of special days and campaigns:

"Over 1, 000 worldwide not-for-profit & community events profiled - updated daily - click on calendars."

I think the Count Me in Calendar is one of the most useful sites on the web and one that you will refer to again and again. Check it out and I'm sure you will agree.

There is a Count Me In blog too.

UK Charities Directory

Charity Choice is a useful guide to charities in the UK.

You can use the search engine to find a registered charity in the UK and donate online easily and securely through Charity Choice.

Find a charity shop

The Association of Charity Shops is "the only member organisation dedicated to supporting charities who run shops as part of their fundraising activities."

The site features a handy search engine to find a charity shop by town or postcode.

Pictures that change lives

Buy and sell digital photos through Big White Box and help charities too! Any profit the site makes goes to Oxfam, Care and Save the Children.

Photos can be purchased for £5

When a picture is sold, £2.70 goes to charity and £0.30 goes to PayPal to pay for the transaction cost. Some photographers choose to earn a royalty for their work of £2, but others (known as "Fundraisers") decide to donate that money, so their £2 also goes to charity (making £4.70 in total).

Shop online & help a charity or earn cashback!

Give or Take "is a new way to shop online that allows you to earn cashback for yourself or a charity of your choice when you shop online."
