What a charity website needs to do
Build trust before asking for support.
Useful information and honest evidence matter more than grand claims. These are the sections supporters usually need first.
Projects people can picture
Describe current services, places, schedules and eligibility so visitors know what is actually available.
Impact with enough context
Pair meaningful figures, outcomes or stories with the period and programme they relate to.
Volunteering that feels possible
Set out roles, time commitments, support and the simple first step for someone interested in helping.
A safe route to the right person
Publish appropriate contact details or collect enquiries privately through the owner control panel.
A transparent donation link
Explain how funds help, then link clearly to your established external donation provider.
Credibility without clutter
Make the important facts findable.
Use your full registered nameAdd a charity number where applicable and keep legal claims accurate.

Charity website questions
Before you begin.
Can a UK charity create a website for free?
Yes. Charities and voluntary organisations can build, edit, host and publish a website for free.
Can we link to our existing donation service?
Yes. Add a clear external donation link to the regulated fundraising or payment service your charity already trusts. FreeWebsite does not process donations.
Can several projects and volunteering opportunities be explained?
Yes. Use separate sections for your mission, current work, impact, volunteering, contact details and the next action you want a supporter to take.
Who can update the charity website?
The owner signs in to a simple visual editor and private control panel. The service is designed so routine changes do not require a developer.
