Tips for telling the wider world about your project
BBC Children in Need are proud to be supporting your organisation. As a new project, you may wish to announce your funding award to local media, and on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
This is a great way to raise awareness of your project and the difference you are making to young lives. It’s also a way to show the public where the money they raise goes, and the impact it makes.
Using our helpful hints and press release template, you will have the tools to spread the word and announce your BBC Children in Need Grant. This template will allow you to input information on your project before you reach out to press contacts.
Acknowledging the charity
- Please always use our full title: BBC Children in Need.
- Use the correct logo! Please note, a logo agreement must be signed in advance of usage, ask your Grants Officer for more details if you have not yet signed a logo agreement
Tell your Facebook supporters about your new grant and tag BBC Children in Need into the message by typing @BBCCiN (it should automatically suggest us if you’ve already liked our page).
Remember that every time you upload or use an image you need to get the right permissions and consent from all parties.
Shout to your followers about your new grant; follow us on twitter and include us in your tweet @BBCCiN. Where possible we will aim to retweet your celebratory tweet to our own followers.
You can also use our hashtag #CiN
