BT Community Website Builder
Free web sites
The BT Community Website Builder allows registered UK Charities and voluntary led groups to build and maintain their own website free of charge. The scheme is operated by BT Volunteering and IK Software Ltd. The site looks fairly good. Don't ask the web hosts to do the update or creation keep to the basics, it could become expensive. Stick to the free zone.
