What kind of messages?
If you are used to Tweeting then this won’t be much of a challenge, but all messages must be no longer than 140 characters.
To get your message posted on your local Big Screen, send it by 29 May 2015 (or 1 June for Bristol) to in**@**************ek.com.
It must appear in the form of an ‘impact statement’ rather than a fundraising appeal or other request.
Small Charity Week organisers the FSI suggests this kind of message:
“Every week Sutton and Croydon MS Therapy Centre help more than 100 people stay healthier, happier and in better control of their lives”.
This initiative is open only to small charities which the FSI defines as “a not-for-profit organisation (registered charity or a small charity registered with HMRC) with an annual turnover of less than £1.5 million”.
