Charities making a home on the web

The web for charities. Charities making the Web their home

For some organisations, the web has allowed a freer flow of advice and information for clients than ever before. Particularly, the role of advice giving has been revolutionised by the web as an invention.

Advice NI

Advice NI supports advice organisations to deliver quality free advice. As an organisation, it provides valuable information on social issues affecting individuals and communities, and has quickly become the leader in those services in the sector.

The excellent www.adviceni.net website is clear, concise and compelling, preparing a user for the process of finding advice, and signposting the best organisations to approach.

Housing Rights Service

The Housing Rights Service in Northern Ireland has a robust presence online. Its site aims to offer information on rights and give advice as a precursor to contacting the service. The information it gives is comprehensive, well considered and clear.

Cedar Foundation

The excellent site for the Cedar Foundation is an object lesson in providing a simply laid out and instantly accessible site. The Foundation’s vision is to play a leading role in the achievement of a community in which people with disabilities are valued and participate as equal citizens.

The website supports that objective through the provision of information, updates and opportunities for members and the casual browser alike. An innovative feature is the ability to turn on an high visibility style, which makes the site perfect for people with visual impairment.
