Subject: Launch of "Little Acts go a Long Way" campaign

We are pleased to announce today the launch of our social media campaign "Little Acts go a Long Way".  This will primarily be run through Facebook where we hope to encourage lively, productive conversation on this topic over the next couple of months.  We plan to feature some guest blogs and also invite everyone to share their personal experiences of how little acts have gone a long way.  We will utilise Twitter to feed into the campaign, inviting people to use the #littleacts hashtag as their reference.

 

We want to thank a donor who completed our survey a few months ago for the suggestion that has formed the basis for this campaign (since survey responses were anonymous we can only thank him or her generally in this way). 

 

The campaign is being run from our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/acts435 and we are on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/acts435

 

Now for those for whom social media is a mystery or completely unappealing: before your eyes glaze over, please think whether there might be someone you know who is active on social media and might like to engage with our campaign and help spread the word – your children, friends, cousins, neighbours, colleagues, etc.

 

Whilst we hope to generate more donors to Acts 435 as part of this campaign, our primary aim is to improve our social media presence and contribute useful, interesting, relevant, fun content which adds value on this subject of how little acts go a long way.  If we appreciated what a difference they can make, perhaps many more people would do many more little acts to make the world a better place. 

 

We are very grateful for any input you can provide (comments, links to relevant information, photos, etc. and sharing the page with your friends) and will update you on how our campaign unfolds in due course.

 

With very best wishes

 

Jenny Herrera

Church Urban Fund resources for Harvest are available on our website from 15th August.

Whether you are a rural parish, with the fruits of the earth all around you, or in the city or suburbs, for all of us it can be a time to reflect on the food we receive as gifts of God.

Please spread the word and encourage churches to support our work this Harvest.
