REMEMBER A CHARITY IN YOUR WILL
www.rememberacharity.org.uk
Death is no excuse for not being generous. The purpose of this campaign and website is to increase significantly the income of all charities, and serving as a “how to” guide, it helps us find whatever charity, related-activity or location that will best use our legacy. Straightforward and crisply designed.
BACKCARE
www.backcare.org.uk
The charity for healthier backs seeks to kill that clarion call of middle age — “Ooh, I’ve put me back out” — with education and information designed to soothe the spine. As well as the regulation News & Events, the most useful section is probably the list of local practitioners.
ASSOCIATION OF CHARITY SHOPS
www.charityshops.org.uk
Here you will find all you need to know about the places that could be temples of past and future fashions or the keepers of frayed jigsaws from 1974. Of real importance only to its many members (unless you really need to find out how to donate to a charity shop) who frolic in the log-in members area? Probably.

CHARITY LOGISTICS
www.charitylogistics.org
This consultancy firm exists to serve its members by providing cost savings on goods and services. Although this is a vast subject, they do their very best. The front page is action-packed and its many sections touch upon areas ranging from computer hardware and public relations, to office relocation. “Practical support” indeed.

BLISS

Providing support for the parents and families of babies that are born prematurely, this site covers all the bases whether it be bereavement, parent stories or something for the fathers on the “Dad’s Page”. For those looking for anything from product advice to interaction with others, the parent message board is a godsend.
PLANTLIFE
www.plantlife.org.uk
“The Wild Plant Charity” asks you to get over your common or garden variety cynicism towards all things green and natural, and, you have to admit, there is something about its passion for conservation that sucks you into stuff such as its “Juniper Survey”. Not only that, but none other than David Bellamy asks you to trek across Cuba for wild plants. How could you possibly resist?
