We need to shout from the rooftops…

#NeverMoreNeeded…

…is a national campaign to draw attention to the vital work that charities, community groups and social enterprises do.

As we navigate the worst impacts of the Covid-19 outbreak, people across the country are relying on VCSE organisations, the essential support they provide and how they shape our society for the better.

Share and showcase the difference your charity makes to your beneficiaries and communities.

How to get involved:

• Use the hashtag #NeverMoreNeeded
• Use images, stories and stats to show the huge difference you make to lives and communities
• Follow or tag us on Twitter and Facebook we’ll share your stories along with ours!

But … we felt that something more is needed…

We think all you charity/social enterprise/community bods are amazing! And we want everyone else to know that. Not just people in our own bubbles, but everyone.

…So we are running a complementary campaign: #lovemycharity

We’ll be asking members of the Hampshire public to tell their stories about charities that have helped them. Not just now during the crisis, but at any time. We’ll create a mini-series of VCSE stories to shine a spotlight on charities, the positive impact that they have on our lives, and the threat that we are all under.

My colleagues who actually know something about social media and marketing tell me it will be brilliant! So watch this space and we’ll be back with more detail.
