We have a large group of regular supporters who are Boomers and are ageing rapidly. To grow our donor base we need to reach out to younger audiences through social media. We have a good following to start from on Facebook and Linkedin but no engagement on Instagram and no TikTok at all. We need someone to help us to reach and engage this new audience! Are you up for a challenge?

Action Against Food Poverty

We need support in updating our website to help promote want we do to business

We are looking for support to update our website www.aafp.uk so that businesses can see the work we do and support us, not only with funding but sharing with their customer and clients. This can have a significant impact on the funds we raise, as donors can see how their contributions are being used. We have not been able to regularly update the website and this has had an impact on the work we do.

Action Against Food Poverty is still very small but with the right support, we hope to increase the work we do to support more people.
