Bmycharity was a company that provided online sponsorship and donation processing services to UK charities and their supporters.
History
[edit]On 10 March 2010 the decision was taken to withdraw the service as of 31 March 2010. Shortly before the site closed, it was revealed that Bmycharity had helped raise over £28million for over 300 charities.[3]
Less than a week later however, Bmycharity was purchased by the charity Help for Heroes to form BmyHero Ltd, but trade under the same name, Bmycharity. The aim of the purchase was "to continue to provide an online, commission free donations facility for UK Registered Charities and to fund this low cost site by focusing on encouraging supporters to make as many Help for Heroes donations through Bmycharity as possible".[1]
