Voluntary sector organisations

We're asking staff and volunteers from charities, social enterprises, community groups and voluntary organisations who are already sharing their experiences online to start using #NeverMoreNeeded when sharing on social media to enable us to find relevant information.

We're also asking those who aren't already telling their story, to start! You can get involved by sharing your/your organisation's experience of dealing with the impact of coronavirus using the #NeverMoreNeeded hashtag and:

• Writing a blog - on your own site, on our site, or for TFN
• Creating a Twitter thread on your/your organisation's account
• Uploading an audio or video diary
• Posting photos of some of the work you are doing
• Encouraging others to take part and share their experiences (see social media assets below).
• If your organisation has a story to tell, you can also contact Third Force News, where the team have been reporting on how the ongoing pandemic and lockdown measures are affecting the sector for months.
