On Tuesday, 25th August, we supported military charities and reserve units.

We offered our award-winning social campaign team up for completely free, no-obligation support sessions. The sessions included:

  • Comms strategy
  • Social media advice and audits
  • Content ideas
  • Video, stills and media production

What kind of work can you help with?

How do I get involved?

Make sure you're following our Twitter account, @BFBSCreative, to find out when we next run Helping Hand.

When we do, all you have to do is let us know what kind of thing you'd like help with and your relevant channels (your Facebook or Twitter profile for example).

Who's eligible?

  • Military charities with less than five paid employees
  • Official Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force Reserve Units

Hopefully we'll be able to help as many of you as possible, but if we can't for whatever reason, we reserve the right to say no on this occasion.

The video did really well - I'm pulling together stats over the weekend for our report, but at the last look, it had been seen by almost 5,000 people, which is great. We also had some great feedback on it, which was lovely. Thanks again for all your help - I really appreciate it!
