The Wheel’s Better Together charity awareness campaign returns
Howard Lake | 4 October 2015 | News
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 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.
