CAMBRIDGE, UK - Many teams using D4H are small local charities, supported entirely by public donations. We understand a core part of our service is helping teams to find the funding for D4H. So that got us thinking... Wouldn't it be wonderful if D4H could pay for itself? Even better, wouldn't it be amazing if it could raise twice that?

We've talked to some of our closest teams, and came up with a plan. Today we are launching the first beta trials of a D4H 'widget'. If switched on by a team account owner, the widget will publicly display the teams latest 5 incidents with map, annual stats and year-on-year variance.



So how can you create value for your team? We've included space at the bottom for you to enter whatever text and link you'd like. You might link it to your team web site, or even better how about you link it to a sponsor?

Does your team have a local supermarket, bar, supplier, or shop you give lots of regular business to? You may be suprised to find they are very willing to sponsor "something a little different". A single valued item like your "Rescue Analytics" to "help save more lives" might be it! We can supply a brochure for you to show them - and you can put a message and link about them on your public widget.

We don't set the price you charge them - it's up to you. They might fund you the exact amount you need, or they might fund you double - ask for what you need.



So where will the widget be shown? Anywhere! We give you a small piece of 'code' which can be copied and pasted into any website, blog, or forum. You can give the code out to all your team members, friends and family. You might even get it featured on a local news site or government portal. Eitherway, your sponsor will be happy for the great local exposure associated to a good cause.

The option to switch-on a team widget will appear in team accounts over the next few weeks once our beta period has ended. Join our fan page for the announcement.
