Take a selfie for small charities!

Small Charity Week, 13-18 June, has launched a social media campaign encouraging the public to get behind small charities across the UK to help raise their profile.

The digital campaign #Ilovesmallcharities calls upon fans of small charities to post photos to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with messages of support in exchange for up to £450 in cash prizes.

Supporters can also pledge their support for small charities by signing up to the ‘Thunderclap’ - a platform that lets individuals and companies rally people together to spread a message. The platform will post a message of support on your behalf and help drive awareness of small charities across the UK.

Pauline Broomhead, CEO of the FSI commented: “Small charities make up 97% of the sector and yet their work is often overlooked and voices lost on social media. This is a great chance for small charities to engage with the public and get the attention they deserve for their fantastic work”.

Small Charity Week supports and hosts a series of activities and initiatives to help the hundreds and thousands of small charities across the UK. Participants must be from charities with a turnover under £1.5 million.
