Be Better Together! Spread the word about your favourite good cause

We're delighted to be part of the 2013 Better Together campaign, which aims to raise public awareness and support for the work being done by thousands of volunteers at charities, community groups, clubs and associations all over Ireland.

It will come as no surprise to say that studies show that societies with high levels of social involvement experience less crime, less violence and enjoy better mental health.

The Better Together campaign, now in its fourth year, is all about connecting with and supporting your local community, recognising and celebrating the heroic efforts being made daily by volunteers and people working to help those most in need.

With the emphasis on why we should stick together through the good times and the bad, Better Together is about demonstrating that we are truly are better together...

The first campaign was launched in 2010 by The Wheel, a support and representative body for the Irish community and voluntary sector, and has grown bigger and better with each subsequent year.

The 2012 Better Together campaign, which saw organisations around the country produce a series of videos as part of the Better Together video competition, saw more than 400,000 public votes and close to 2 million pageviews by more than 200,000 people!

Check out - and vote! - for our video "One Step Closer to a Future Without Cancer" here.
