In the aftermath of the first COVID-19 lockdown, we contacted Lyme Regis Foodbank to see if there was anything we could do to help. This was the beginning of a continuing journey, with Mark becoming a director of the Foodbank.
Sue, the chair of the Foodbank identified Social Media as an area where Beyond Local could make a big difference. Our first Social Media project for the Foodbank involved a local student who had approached us looking for some work experience in 2023. The student had an immediate impact creating a series of branded instagram posts and a TikTok video.
Ongoing support
This week-long project was such a success, we offered to continue to work alongside the Foodbank creating Facebook and Instagram posts. Our social Media guru, Cassie continues to have bi-weekly meetings with the Foodbank co-ordinator to discuss priorities and identify topics to post about to boost donations and raise awareness of the Foodbank’s work.
To find out more about our work with the Foodbank, or with other community groups such as Carers Lewisham, please contact us.
