It costs money to run a free website: our server costs alone are £400 per month. Last year we had 40,000 visitors to the site from whom we received only £40 in donations. We are not currently receiving any other income. At this rate, we will run out of money in the next few months and the site will be forced to close.
Please make a minimum donation of £5 to keep the site going. Thank you
Nearly 25,000 children in the UK and more than 50,000 children globally are supported using materials from the Commtap website during the course of a year.
Using the initial results of our recent survey and data that we collect on how many people use the site we can make a good estimate as to how many children are supported using the website.
So far we have had 46 people responding to the survey of the use of Commtap. 28 of them use the site at least once a month. Each one supports on average 18 children using resources from the site.
Over 50,000 different people visited the site between October 2013 and October 2014, of these just over 3,000 visit regularly (more than 9 times in the year) to look at communication resources. It is reasonable to assume that this group broadly matches the group of people in the survey who use the site regularly. This allows us to estimate that around 54,000 children are being supported using the site.
Estimated number of children supported by Commtap by country over the course of the year to October 2014.
Estimated number of children supported by Commtap in the countries of the United Kingdom over the course of the year to October 2014.
Estimated number of children supported per million of population in the countries of the United Kingdom over the course of the year to 2014.
Help make our data even more accurate by filling in the using Commtap survey if you haven't already done so. This will help us to attract funding for supporting the site.
