Thank you so much to everyone who took part in #ReclaimSocial yesterday – we even trended! But it’s not over yet. This is a movement, not a campaign so we need you to keep the hashtag alive!

We are delighted that #ReclaimSocial has already been featured by Third SectorCharity Digital News, Charity Times and UK Fundraising so thank you for your support.

How has the message spread?

So far, #ReclaimSocial has had 16M social impressions from 1,500 posts and over 1,000 people and organisations have taken part.

Here are just a selection of some of the amazing #ReclaimSocial posts by charities and individuals.

Let’s keep #ReclaimSocial alive! Keep using the hashtag in all your social media posts that celebrate good people, good work and good causes. Together we can make social media more positive and turn it into a force for good.

Digital Resilience in Action: Life Lifters Kenya’s journey through BRIDGE

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the ability to engage online is a necessity. For nonprofits, especially those working in underserved regions or tackling complex social issues, digital tools can be the bridge between intention and impact. Whether it’s reaching new donors, advocating for policy change, or delivering services, digital capacity enables organisations to scale their mission and deepen their impact. Yet many grassroots organisations remain digitally under-resourced. That’s why Lightful created the BRIDGE programme - Building Resilience in Digital Growth and Engagement - to empower nonprofits with the skills, confidence, and strategies to thrive in the digital age and build lasting change.
