Chat Room Software for Charity Website

[squiffy2]

Hi all,
We currently run AddonChat as our charity website chatroom for people affected by Multiple Sclerosis on the Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre website - http://www.msrc.co.uk

This is coming up for renewal at the end of this month and I am wanting to review a range of chat room software packages to ensure we are using the best for the people who use the moderated and unmoderated chat sessions.

Therefore, can anyone recommend any Chat Room software/hosting packages that they have experience with, for myself to review and then other members of the charity staff to "play with" to see what we may wish to swap to. The software must be easy for users to use as many of the "particpants" may be suffering from cognitive impairment so we need to keep use as simple as possible.

Thanks in advance

I don't do chat, but PalTalk is popular.
