Dogs Trust on JustTextGiving

Our friends at Dogs Trust recently entered the JustTextGiving competition almost raising £1500 over one weekend. Through social media service Facebook, Dogs Trust promoted their campaign ‘FUNdraising Friday’ and after a great response, extended the campaign through the weekend renaming it 'FUNdraising Weekend’. In addition to status updates through Facebook, Dogs Trust drove traffic from Twitter. A month later, they are still receiving positive feedback from the campaign and have now set up more JustTextGiving codes to launch new campaigns. You can watch the Dogs Trust JustTextGiving video entry here and whilst you’re watching, why not donate? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-999sihTs0

Ben's triathlon for Hope for Latvia

Our very own Ben Kemp (MD) is taking part in the Virgin Active London Triathlon at the end of July to help raise awareness and funds for 'Hope for Latvia'.

Hope for Latvia is an organisation that provides fresh and creative solutions for the tough challenges faced by thousands of Latvian families. Their vision is to simply break the cycle of poverty in Latvia.

Held at the ExCeL centre, London, Ben will be running 5K, cycling 20K and lastly swimming 750m. Ben, who has been training since January this year, hopes that he can conquer the challenge in a good time. Good luck Ben!

If you wish to donate to Ben's cause and give him a few words of encouragement please go to his JustGiving page.
