A WEBSITE has been launched that can generate money for Tees Valley charities through the services it is able to offer businesses in the area.

The initiative is aimed at start-up businesses as well as small to large established firms.

The services range from a website link for businesses that already have an Internet presence through to full page design, development and hosting within the website.

Philip Wright, owner and designer of the website, said: "The website will operate as a non-profit business so that any additional monies will be distributed and donated on a monthly basis to charities in the area.

"These charities will be determined by the businesses that use our services."

For further information, visit the website at www.tees-valley.info or contact Phil Wright on 07921 335896.

To help mark the launch of the website, businesses can take the opportunity to have a free listing within the local services pages of the site which will include business name, address and contact number.
