The social landlord will encourage its staff to take part in fundraising events and volunteering opportunities, as well as sharing expertise. The partnership launched on the NSPCC’s flagship fundraising event, Childhood Day, on 7 June, when staff from Clarion took to the waters at Surrey Docks in London alongside other NSPCC partners for the annual Dragon Boat Race, raising thousands of pounds for the charity. To mark Childhood Day and launch the partnership, a number of Clarion offices also hosted activities to help staff reconnect with their childhood, learn about the work of the NSPCC, and find out about the importance of play and how it is encouraged in Clarion communities through Clarion Futures, the organisation’s charitable foundation. --- ![](https://wfay6x.infiniteuploads.cloud/2024/06/image-7.png) #### HEINEKEN UK & Marmalade Trust mark Loneliness Awareness Week with poster campaign To mark Loneliness Awareness Week 2024 (10 to 16 June) HEINEKEN UK and charity partner [Marmalade Trust](https://www.marmaladetrust.org/) have produced a series of conversation- starting posters to adorn pub walls and encourage people to talk to each other. Flipping the famous ‘Careless Talk Costs Lives’ posters, developed by the British Government during World War Two, the new prints carry the strapline _‘Small Talk Improves Lives’_ in the same style as the originals. From strangers conversing about the weather on the bus, dog walkers bonding over their pets, people chatting about the football results to strangers getting friendly over a drink down their local, the posters bring to life a few of the different random acts of connection which people could encounter in their day-to-day lives.   --- > As part of our partnership, [@KopparbergUK](https://twitter.com/KopparbergUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > has launched its own SPF50 sunscreen ready for the summer – available at four > London pubs from this[#drinkresponsibly](https://twitter.com/hashtag/drinkresponsibly?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > [https://t.co/Y0jJ9puwDW](https://t.co/Y0jJ9puwDW) [pic.twitter.com/PQ5FTKe83F](https://t.co/PQ5FTKe83F) > — Melanoma Fund (@melanoma_fund) [June 3, 2024](https://twitter.com/melanoma_fund/status/1797618999259443214?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) #### Kopparberg teams up with Melanoma Fund to get people to drink responsibly – and wear sunscreen Kopparberg’s latest campaign, ‘Drink Responsibly This Summer’, has been developed in partnership with [Melanoma Fund](https://melanoma-fund.co.uk/). At the centre of the campaign is the 40-second advert directed by BAFTA-winning director, Molly Manners at Biscuit Filmworks. Set to CMD/CTRL’s track ‘No Stress’, the film sees a gang of friends ‘drinking responsibly’ with style as they apply vast amounts of sunscreen, triple up their sunglasses and sit in elaborate shapes to keep themselves out of the sun.  The multi-million pound campaign features Melanoma Fund’s logo across all advertising this summer including TV, digital and social campaigns, as well as a series of billboards across the country.   The campaign will also be brought to life throughout the summer with a series of activations including the launch of thousands of SPF 50 sunscreen sachets, which will be available at select pubs and bars across the UK this summer. Kopparberg is working with its network of pubs and bars to install sunscreen dispensers developed in partnership with the Melanoma Fund, in beer gardens across the country. --- > We’re delighted to announce a new partnership with [@CIIGroup](https://twitter.com/CIIGroup?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > [#Liverpool](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Liverpool?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)! > > To celebrate, we are holding a special webinar on Thursday 20th June, for people > to learn more about [#ModernSlavery](https://twitter.com/hashtag/ModernSlavery?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > and the work that we do.To sign up, visit: [https://t.co/eWctdhOOoo](https://t.co/eWctdhOOoo) > [#Partnership](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Partnership?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > [pic.twitter.com/3cn2pGBmII](https://t.co/3cn2pGBmII) > — Causeway Charity (@CausewayCharity) [June 12, 2024](https://twitter.com/CausewayCharity/status/1800845753423908954?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) #### The Insurance Institute of Liverpool joins forces with Causeway for new partnership The Insurance Institute of Liverpool has partnered with [Causeway](http://www.wearecauseway.org.uk/) in a bid to create tangible change for modern slavery survivors, increase awareness and advocacy, and raise funds to help Causeway deliver their services.
