Microsoft Pledges Cash To NSPCC Child's Voice Appeal

Microsoft has pledged to donate 15 per cent of Windows Vista and Office 2007 sales purchased through the Microsoft Store to the NSPCC's Child's Voice Appeal from today until the New Year.


The Child's Voice Appeal hopes to raise £50m over the next three years to help increase the number of calls that can be answered by the NSPCC ChildLine and NSPCC Helpline services.



The Child Protection Helpline gets around 95,000 calls a year. In 2007 the organisation's free ChildLine service received 2.5 million calls, 900,000 of which went unanswered.

The NSPCC aims to answer an extra 500,000 calls to ChildLine every year, and 18,000 more calls to the Helpline by 2011, as well as expanding its online service.
