Do you want to raise money for charity without it costing you a penny? Well now you can. CharityFizz.org.uk is a new Bristol based search service built specifically to allow Internet users to support their favourite good causes.

"Just use it like your normal search engine" stated Anthony Butcher, the site owner who lives in Long Ashton. "We use Google search results for the main search and take a share of the profits from them. CharityFizz also has a web forum, so that users can vote for how the money is allocated to the charities each month." All of the funds raised will be used for charities based in the UK.

"We want our users to suggest and support the more obscure charities and good causes that frequently get ignored" continued Mr Butcher. "Something as simple as a wheelchair can make an enormous difference to someone's life; we want to be able to make that difference. Best of all, it's just like using Google and it won't cost our users anything!"
