**Haworth Cat Rescue is the first charity to feature a Twitter feed on its [Bmycharity fundraising pages](http://www.bmycharity.com/haworthcatrescue).
This means that its supporters can now read the latest messages from the charity
on the various pages set up by its supporters.**

The West Yorkshire based charity reports that it has already benefited from an increased
profile due to its active presence on Twitter.

Ben Brabyn, managing director of Bymycharity, said: “Haworth Cat Rescue is taking
advantage of a unique feature of Bmycharity – the content management system which
enables each charity to stream Twitter through every sponsorship page, making them
dynamic and interactive platforms to appeal to the 45 (on average) people who visit
each page.

“Recruiting more fundraisers, sharing news and raising awareness of real-time issues
are all now possible through Bmycharity pages,” he added.

Haworth Cat Rescue is also active in other social media, highlighting its In For
A Pound appeal on Facebook.

The charity’s use of Twitter on its Bmycharity pages will feature in UK Fundraising’s
half-day [training course on using Twitter for fundraising](http://fundraisingwithtwitter.eventbrite.com)
on 16 March in London.

The British Red Cross have added a Twitter feed to their Bmycharity sponsorship 
pages. The feed covers the latest reports from their TB projects in Kazakhstan and
Kyrgyzstan.

If Bmycharity can present a Twitter feed then there is great potential for pulling
in other kinds of charities’ content that are published as RSS feeds.
