BT to host charity website for the Royal Couple

Have you been caught up in the Royal Wedding craze?

Then you might as well donate to charity, as Kate Middleton and Prince William both were keen on the scheme to raise some charity funds rather than receive pressies.

BT has now confirmed that it has been appointed to host the web page for Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton's Charitable Gift Fund.

Ian Livingston, BT Chief Executive, said:

"We're delighted to have the opportunity to help develop and operate such an important service for the Royal Couple. We wish Prince William and Catherine all the best and hope that they have a wonderful day in April."

The telecommunications giant will also be in charge of payment transaction technologies - these would be web, phone or text-based.

Well-wishers can already start donating as the website is in full operation and can be found here: www.royalweddingcharityfund.org

All supporters will be able to donate money via cyber Sterling, Euros and US, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand Dollars.

Nick Booth, Chief Executive, The Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry, said:

"It has been great to have the support of BT on this important initiative. The Charitable Gift Fund being launched by Prince William and Miss Middleton could bring significant benefits to a range of important causes and charities chosen by the couple.

"The involvement of BT in hosting the new website for online charitable gifts and facilitating the chance for people to make gifts by phone and text as well, is key in the project's success".

It has been said that BT has had a lot of experience in running secure web services, which gave the company the status of a trusted technology partner for various charities.
