Sites qualifying for free use of SPG graphics Thank you for taking the time to read this page. We here at SPG would love to hear from you and supply you with your webpage backgrounds if you fall into one of the non-commercial categories listed below: Self help groups These sites are often run by wonderful caring people giving their time to help other cope with life's problems, using their own experiences to help people deal with whatever the bad situation is affecting them. Social Awareness Those sites that exist to draw attention to problems in society such as cruelty to animals or social injustice Education If you have a site which is helping to educate people - the subject is irrelevant - and you make no charge. We are facing a tremendous education shortfall today with educational resources being geared more and more to the newer technologies. This is resulting in a shortfall of knowledge in the older more traditional areas. We are getting dangerously close to a situation where in the event of a disaster (to borrow from that old saying) many people will die surrounded by food and the materials to clothe themselves and build shelters. So your contribution to society is vital. Education is a must and it is essential we keep as much of it as possible free at point of use. Whatever your subject, be it teaching people to yodel or how to dig a well to first aid in the home if you are educating we would like to hear from you. Activities and Clubs All round this planet we have clubs and activities such as Brass Bands - Astronomy Groups - Sports and Games and many more - who survive on shoestring budgets providing local people with leisure activities and services to the community Please contact us by email if you would like to use a free SPG webpage background. Our definition of a non-commercial site is one that does not generate income directly on the webpage - we do ignore search boxes such as google and also donation buttons. If you have a shop on your site this would make you a commercial site and also sites hosted on Blogs pages too are commercial. Blogs pages generate enormous incomes for their owners. Ten visitors per day generates over $200.00 per year. If you are not sure drop us a line by email giving us your site details and address and we will check it out - we have been known to bend our own rules! We would ask that in exchange for the use of the webpage background that you create a link to SPG on each page the background is used. This can be right at the bottom of the page in tiny, tiny writing so as not to interfere with the design of your page.
