**Lightful is a new social media and digital campaign management tool designed to
help charities and groups raise more awareness, support and funds.**

Delegates at the Institute of Fundraising’s Fundraising Convention this July got
a chance to test out the new platform in the exhibition area.

Co-founder Vinay Nair spoke to Erin Niimi Longhurst for UK Fundraising, explaining
what [Lightful](http://lightful.com) offers, why the sector needed their service
when there were already many digital platforms available, and how it came about.
