    Archbishop's “Leap of Faith” for The Afghanistan Trust charity

    The Archbishop of York is set to do a parachute jump to raise money for the families of soldiers killed or injured in Afghanistan. From The Afghanistan Trust website:

    Dr John Sentamu will hurl himself from a plane at 12,500ft with the Parachute Regiment Red Devils display team from RAF Langer near Nottingham in six weeks time on May 27th.

    The Archbishop is urging the public to sponsor him to complete the daring parachute jump to generate funds for the Afghanistan Trust - a charity formed to help support soldiers and their families who have served with 3rd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment in Afghanistan, and who have been wounded or killed as a consequence.

    Designition Ltd, in collaboration with Stone Soup, have set up and donated this website to promote the event and The Afghanistan Trust charity. Good luck John!

    Read the full story on The Afghanistan Trust website or make a donation to the trust.

    Wishing you a Merry Christmas

    ...and a Happy New Year, from everyone at Designition.

    It's been quite a year for us. In the last 12 months, we have:

    • won 2 awards (for the new York Minster and york-england.com websites),
    • exhibited at VentureFest (see you again in 2008),
    • moved our office to the Shambles in the centre of York,
    • and finally gotten round to launching a website of our own!

    But most importantly this year, we've produced 27 world-class websites for budding and established businesses and organisations, both local and national, and we've really enjoyed working with every one of them, and finding out what they're all about.

    Just launched: British Association for Chemical Specialities new website and extranet.

    A massive thanks to all of our clients and associates for their continued support, and we wish you all a happy and prosperous 2008!

    Cheque clearance changes: e-commerce beware

    New cheque clearance rules coming into effect on 1st December 2007 mean that cheque payments will not be guaranteed until 7 days after being presented to the bank for payment, even if the money has already appeared in your account.

    If you're an online seller, it is recommended that you avoid dispatching goods that have been paid for by cheque until the seventh day has passed, unless the cheque payment was secured with a cheque guarantee card.
