Give Water was a similar site set up by Thames Water where your clicks enable donations to be made to WaterAid the UK's only major charity dedicated to the provision of safe water, effective sanitation and hygiene promotion to the world's poorest people. WaterAid works in fifteen countries in Africa and Asia and has helped over six and a half million people to date. By clicking for free, you contribute towards their vital work. The click to donate process seems to have gone but this is still a site worth visiting and allows real on-line donations to be made.

The Fairtrade Mark is a guarantee to the consumer that the producers have been paid a fair price and work in safe and decent conditions, with respect for the local environment. The Mark is independent verification from an organisation - the Fairtrade Foundation - set up to promote fairer international trade in mainstream commercial markets. From time to time we shall promote various fairtrade products and suppliers through banners and logos on this site. If you haven't already done so check out Divine chocolate.
