At the end of each year, Hunter Online selects 3 charitable organisations to whom we donate at least 1% of our pre-tax earnings.

We aim to choose:

• one organisation focused on helping PEOPLE
• one organisation focused on helping THE PLANET
• one organisation focused on improving ANIMAL WELFARE

For 2009 we have chosen:

BICYCLES FOR HUMANITY (B4H)
collects unwanted bicycles for re-distribution in Africa, enabling mobility and providing local training, business and employment opportunities.
