    Microsoft make it virtually impossible for a Nonprofit organisation to set up an account. Their site comes up as not secure - even tried different browsers and wifi networks. There is not a published telephone number for UK orgs to contact-- using any of the sales numbers take you to an operator who has no access to the Nonprofit section very disappointing.
