Charity Offer

[GrouchyKids]

Working with an idea for link building...

The company I work for is offering help to charities and fundraisers within the UK.

Looking at Twitter to connect with movers and shakers but has anyone got any specific advice / experience to offer?

Bit confused whether you are looking for connections with UK charities to offer free services for charities that would need it or SEO/SEM related advice.  If it is connections with charities I am pretty well connected with a range of charities as I have worked most of the last 6 years in the third sector, particularly with disability charities.  There are over a dozen charities (many of them Manchester Based but not exclusively) with whom I have very strong relationships/ connections including Body Positive North West, Breakthrough UK and Manchester Mind.  I am also well connected with lots of very worthwhile social enterprises that whilst not charities as such are an important part of the third sector and may have similar PR benefits.

One of the problems with social media and charities is that with their board structures it can take quite a lot of time and pressure to get an effective social media strategy developed and approved, particularly in the context of many boards having to deal at the moment with severe financial pressures brought about through direct and indirect funding cuts.  This is not true across the board but is the case with many charities.
