The Beehive Community Network for Gloucestershire, which provides free websites for charities and voluntary groups, has announced a sponsorship agreement with the county's leading grant giving body.

Barnwood House Trust has signed a 12-month deal to sponsor the Charities and Voluntary groups section.

The trust provides grants to meet special needs arising from disability, helping county organisations working with people with disabilities and individuals in need.

Trust director Paul Guy said: "The Beehive is an excellent way of providing information about Barnwood House Trust to voluntary groups and by creating a gateway to other useful websites."

The Beehive has already aided the web development of more than 130 local charitable organisations and in total has launched more than 350 Beehive websites in the county.

Melanie Aldridge, Northcliffe Electronic Publishing's community publishing manager, said: "The Beehive is totally free of charge to use and through our association with Barnwood House Trust we hope to help even more local groups get online."
