Consumers are advised that charity credit cards can help them reach children in need every day of the year.

Today, Children in Need is celebrated around the UK with nationwide collections in expected to reach into the millions.

However, according to the Fair Investment Company, charity credit cards allow a donation to be made each time the card is used with no extra cost to the user.

There are many options, with a variety of children’s charities available at which consumers can effortlessly direct their generosity.

The Co-op offers The Children’s Society Card, which donates £5 with every account opened, with further donations when the card is used.

Meanwhile, Halifax supports two children’s charities through card offers, Save the Children and the NSPCC. Halifax donates at least £20 on the first use of the card and after that 0.25 per cent of any spending on the card.

Director at Fair Investment Company, James Caldwell, commented: “If you want to support a charity, a charitable credit card will allow you to donate every time you make a purchase.

“Charity credit cards can also make a real statement; each time you use the card it is good publicity for the charity.”
