Thanks for all the lovely words I’ve received for this piece of work I directed with @BramTtwheam. It was a fun one to work on.

What if we could talk to animals? Our latest collaboration with @FOURPAWSUK imagines just that. 🐑 We’re incredibly proud of the film, and how it shines a light on an unnecessary practice that needs to end. Check it out: four-paws.org.uk/campaigns-t… #BeTheirVoice

Something exciting is coming tomorrow at midday! Since 2009, about 140 million lambs have been subjected to the cruel mutilation of live lamb cutting in Australia 🐑💔 We've called on some friends that you may recognise 👀 to spread the word about this barbaric practice.

Hospice Roundtable 2 - Engage & Fundraise - Three Key Takeaways

ALT Hospice Roundtable 2 - Engage & Fundraise - Three Key Takeaways

‘Focus on relationships, not just results’ - Don’t chase direct conversions with your social media content. Instead, focus on delivering what your audience truly wants to see. By creating content that resonates, you will help foster strong emotional connections between your supporters and your hospice, and build long-term relationships.

‘Make the most of micro-influencers’ - Micro-influencers are a valuable tool if you are looking to reach new audiences on a budget. By teaming up with local personalities who have a small but loyal following, you can amplify your reach to help with fundraising, to drive event participation, or promote your local charity shops.

‘Authenticity is key’ - Overly polished or designed content doesn’t connect as well with your audience. Instead, share real photos and true stories from your hospice—about your patients, nurses, and the families you support. Share the everyday moments of joy, create content that honestly reflects life at the hospice, and don’t shy away from talking about death and dying.

URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts... 1) You can do it online here registertovote.service.gov.u… 2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages. 3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing ) 4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-vo…
