Twittering gets charity on the social network – Times Online
Helen Buxton, the digital project manager of the NSPCC’s e-fundraising team says the organisation uses Facebook to raise awareness of the charity. “The beauty of social networking sites is that they are a really quick and easy low cost way to engage with supporters,” she says. As well as an official Facebook page, there are several unofficial NSPCC pages on Facebook. “There is a danger our message will get distorted, yes, but we do monitor what is being said,” says Buxton. And she points out that unofficial sites can reach out to more supporters. “On Facebook there’s an unofficial NSPCC page called Stop Child Abuse which has 250,000 members. That’s brilliant, because we can go to the page’s owner when we want to talk about a fundraising initiative or campaign, and she messages her supporters.”
