Attention: All UK Charities!

What do Shakespeare, the Beatles, and fish and chips all have in common?

If you know the answer, then this post might be of interest to you!

For the last couple of months, Idealist has been focusing on encouraging charities in the United Kingdom to register on our site and publicize volunteer opportunities and job listings. Currently, our site lists 1,509 organizations from the UK, and their 254 volunteer opportunities and 32 job offers are now included on our site.

The GuideStar UK database has been very helpful in our United Kingdom outreach effort. It promotes greater public understanding of the work of charities and how they are managed, from the smallest to the largest.

In addition, this week we are sending our first newsletter addressed to organizations and individuals registered on Idealist from the United Kingdom!

For all those that are currently in the UK, you can help us continue to promote Idealist by telling your friends and family about our site. Also, you can embrace this amazing opportunity and start looking for a charity to work or volunteer for!

If you have any ideas or crazy stories, or just want to tell us your experience regarding UK charities, feel free to send us an email at userrelations@idealist.org.
