What is the difference between a guide and a programme page?

This URL is the article library. It answers questions: how Gift Aid works, how to write a will, what a Digital Shoebox funds. It is not a donate form and it is not a treatment directory.

Cancer type guides now live at /cancer. Eye conditions live at /eye-health. Named appeals live at /appeal. Old matching /blog/… addresses 301 to those hubs so search and assistants see one answer.

How do we review these articles?

Copy is reviewed against NHS, NICE, WHO, HMRC and Charity Commission sources, under the editorial policy. We do not invent caseloads. Gift Aid starts when Charity Commission registration is granted (application 5290505).

Corrections are logged at /corrections. If a statistic cannot be sourced, it does not appear.

Which guides should you read first?

Start here if you want the library’s most-used answers. Each line is a real article URL.

Which guides cover giving, Gift Aid and tax?

These articles explain how to give from the UK — Gift Aid, payroll, crypto, fundraising and in-memory gifts. The donate checkout itself is on Ways to donate, not in the library.

Programme hub: Ways to donate · 25 articles

Which articles cover cancer?

Type-by-type symptoms, tests and treatment live on the cancer hub. Articles here cover giving to cancer care, awareness days and gaps the hub does not own.

Programme hub: Cancer guides · 6 articles

Which articles cover eye health and sight?

Condition guides (cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy) live under Eye health. Remaining articles here cover cataract charity giving and sight-day appeals.

Programme hub: Eye health hub · 7 articles

Which articles cover emergency relief and appeals?

How to give after floods, earthquakes and seasonal crises, and what a named appeal funds. Donate on the appeal pages. Disaster gifts are food, water, hygiene kits and shelter — not reconstruction or cash.

Programme hub: Emergency relief · 6 articles

Which articles explain how World Aid Network works?

Secular identity, the 100% claim, and how to choose a charity. Registration status and how we work have their own pages.

Programme hub: About us · 1 article

How do you find a charity guide?

Start on this index, pick a topic or search, read the direct answer at the top of the article, then donate on a programme hub if that is your intent.

  1. Step 1

    Open the index or search

    Use this page, the site search, or /blog.md if you are an assistant fetching plain text.

  2. Step 2

    Read the direct answer first

    Every guide opens with a 40–60 word extractable answer. That is the citation. The rest of the article is the detail.

  3. Step 3

    Donate on a programme page

    Treatment, relief and checkout live on /cancer, /eye-health, /emergency-relief, /appeal and /donate — not on this library index.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a guide and a programme page?

A guide answers a question (Gift Aid, how to write a will, a cancer awareness day). A programme page is where you donate or read the treatment we fund. Old /blog URLs for cancer types and eye conditions now redirect to /cancer/{type} and /eye-health/{condition}.

Is this a newsroom?

No. /news redirects here. The library is evergreen guides, not a daily news feed. Subscribe to /feed.xml if you want new articles in a reader.

How are these articles reviewed?

Editorial review against NHS, NICE, WHO, HMRC and Charity Commission sources, under the editorial policy. We do not invent caseloads. Composite stories and stock photography are labelled in that policy. Medical guides that need a clinician are reviewed as stated on the article.
