Charity begins in the community

'Charity begins at home'. Well, we at McShane Media have always struggled slightly with that statement. Partly because we support and have worked with charities doing fantastic work overseas. And, partly, because our personal charity involvement is usually shaped by our community.

Currently we're supporting a local residents' association by building and updating their website. Could we build a website? Check! Could it have a calendar? Check! Could it display the latest minutes from their meetings? Check! Could it even manage their elections online? Check again!

With over nine billion internet users worldwide, it's important for voluntary and charitable organisations to harness social media to spread their aims, and keep supporters informed.

The residents' association is delighted with their new website and we're pleased we could help.
