- 39. The big event – Manchester Midnight Walk Promoted the launch of the walk by holding a flashmob A flashmob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse (wikipedia) St Ann‟s did supplementary work with generic Hospice pages on Facebook and Twitter to advertise the FlashMob and drive traffic to the main hospice pages/groups

- 47. After the flashmob… keeping momentum going Set up the Midnight Walk twitter pages a couple of weeks after the event Cross promoted everything between St Ann‟s site and Midnight Walk sites All footage and Press coverage was put on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr
- 48. Social Media use after the launch Realised the value of investing time & effort building fans and followers Painstakingly followed lots of Manchester people on Twitter Promoted it on their website, in their newsletters and enewsletters, and put permanent links on the front page of their website and every other page too They are also building into their Content Management System the ability to flag up which pages they want to tweet to help manage the process.

- 54. Lessons learned Had a Facebook group, but changed to fan page – lost a few people Be careful how you set up your Facebook fan page! Generating content is often hard, but there are always great stories around Finding the right people on Twitter to follow – looked at the Forever Manchester site to find local people Now using Twitter lists to find Manchester people Look out for opportunities – St Ann‟s have started work with Salford University students on their Social Media Masters Course
- 55. Overall results of the Midnight Walk Total net raised so far is £231,890 (last year £175,000). 17.5% higher than budgeted and 32.5% higher than last year 1,485 more walkers signed up than last year, a total of 3,285 83% Budgeted for 2,750 so achieved a 20.5% increase on target
- 56. What‟s next for St Ann‟s Challenge is tracking FB & Twitter accurately More YouTube – getting help on design and structure of NFP YouTube page Growing the Facebook fan page Having more conversations about their services through social media Added links to social media on every page of website
- 57. Catherine‟s advice If I could give one tip it would be: do one thing now – you don‟t need a strategy in place, just try it out! For example, set up a Facebook group/event or a Twitter site and actively promote it on your emails – see what happens as a result! Catherine Williams, Director of Fundraising and Communications
