**The Wheel has announced the launching of this year’s Better Together campaign 
which raises awareness of charitable activity in Ireland.**

Better Together is a nationwide campaign which aims to build support for hundreds
of charities, community groups, clubs and associations across the country by encouraging
the public to support good causes and make a difference in their communities.

The first Better Together campaign was launched in 2010 by The Wheel, a support 
and representative body for the Irish community and voluntary sector. The Wheel 
created the Better Together campaign in order to help raise public awareness and
support for the work being done by literally thousands of charities, community groups,
clubs and associations up and down the country.

[Better Together in 2015](http://www.2015.bettertogether.ie) has two main elements–
a video competition and a charity ‘hero’ award. The video competition will provide
a platform for Irish charities, community groups, clubs and associations to showcase
the work that they do, including fundraising. Winners will be announced in December.

The hero award recognises lifetime achievement honouring a volunteer who has – over
the course of their life – made an extraordinary contribution to a good cause. This
Award is a collaboration between the Volunteer Ireland Awards and the Better Together
Campaign.
