A charity I do free work for wants to block traffic to some websites

I've tried putting the web addresses into the firewall program, but
then it blocks all of them. They want to either block these activities
or at the very minimum monitor them and prove what is going on.

Can anyone reccomend anything?

A bit off-topic for this newsgroup, but you probably need to install a proxy-server. Microsoft ISA or Squid if you prefer Linux. If you want to go down the Linux route I may be able to find some people who will install and configure it for you.
