Update Charity Choice #216

Open archerbarrie opened 3 years ago

archerbarrie commented 3 years ago

Charity Choice (https://www.charitychoice.co.uk/) used to be a means to make donations and was linked to from FreeBMD. This link has been removed because it appears that Charity Choice has been transformed into a directory of charities. However, if you search on Charity Choice for "genealogy" you get two hits for Free UK Genealogy, one of which has an out of date address (Burgess Hill) and the other (Harford) may also be out of date. This issue is raised to review and get corrected the information in these two entries, and also possibly to include a link to our donations page.

Free UK Genealogy CIO's entry is correct (Burgess Hill one).

Free UK Genealogy entry needs updating, and I've contacted Charity Choice to see how this can be done. I rather think they scrape from the Charity Commission, and the updates are out of line with what CC holds.

As this data is pulled from the Charity Commission, and we cannot close the old charity at the present time, it is not possible to move forwards with this.
