Charity

We are committed to giving 10% of any profits we make to charity. We've carefully selected three really great charities that we're going to be supporting this year. Take a careful look at them, check out their websites and then when you sign up you can vote on which one you want to support. At the end of the year we'll tot up the votes and donate the money accordingly. We're really proud of this commitment and hope with your help we can make a difference.
