A charity badge is a widget used on websites, blogs, social networks (example SocialVibe) or e-mail for promotion of some humanitarian initiative, mainly gathering donations for charity projects.

The idea was initiated by the Yahoo! search engine and the Network for Good charity aggregator.

Some companies allow website owners or bloggers to make a personalized badge for setting up a link to a favourite charity, creating the possibility of wide social involvement for donations.

Surveys suggest 61% of people give to a charity because a personal connection has asked them to make a contribution.

The charity badge method of giving has gained popularity among communities of online users. Yahoo! promote a contest for gathering the biggest quantity of one-time donations.

A. At the risk of being a bit old fashioned I suggest you offer a range of 'embossed' or 'gold lettered' Cathedral personalised items such as Bibles, Prayer Books & Song Books & CD's / DVD's of Organ Music & Classical religious recitals that have been performed at the Cathedral in recent years .. In fact, I bet there is a whole library of books you could offer about the Cathedral (it's History etc).. For some idea's why not visit the 'gift shops' of other cathedrals in UK & see what quality / relevant goods are on offer ? (but please avoid the useless tourist tat such as glass dolphins and those overpriced boxes of fudge I've seen on offer at for too many places)
