## The role of content

[Something To Tweet About](http://www.aegismedia.com/responsibility/responsibility-reports.aspx)
is designed to present the possibilities for charities, irrespective of their size
and budget, in **creating and distributing content** that actively engages beneficiaries,
volunteers, donors and staff. It can be downloaded at no charge.

> said: ” We know that most charities and social enterprises are using social media,
> but that there are many misconceptions about how best to use these channels. In“
> Something to Tweet about” we provide both insights from experts and inspiration
> from other organisations who have created successful content. We’ve also given
> advice on creating various types of content when time and budget are stretched
> so readers can learn how to create social media content that will help them reach
> their organisation’s goals.”
