Kickstart!

Tomorrow marks a special day for our Charity of the Year, Kickstart Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Support (@KickstartTYACS) who are a local registered charity supporting young people aged 16-24 with cancer in East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.  

"Young people, not cancer, should be in control of their lives. We want to help them achieve that with a kickstart!"

With this in mind and a little twist of #EYorksHour fun, tonight's theme is about giving each other a Kickstart! Join in from 8pm - 9pm and tell us how you need a Kickstart or how you can help give others a Kickstart! 

Is someone having a bad week and may need their smile kickstarting?

Do you need some business advice? 

Are you launching a new product or service? 

Can we Kickstart publicity for your event? 

Do you need help finding local companies? 

Are you looking for opportunities to grow your business? 

Can you give a shout out to a new business? 

Our hashtags for tonight are #EYorksHour and #kickstartTYACS - let's get them trending to spread some charitable love in the way we know best, through twitter! 

Tweet you later! 

Please note: If you know a young person fighting cancer in East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, then let @kickstartTYACS know what you need and how they can help #kickstart #support.

Snapshot!

Happy Tuesday!! 

Tonight is the weekly return of our favourite networking hour #EYorksHour and we have a fun theme to keep you entertained. 

If you missed us last week, we discussed local charities; our favourites, upcoming events, fundraising efforts, thank you's and a virtual 'pat on the back' for Ali Crompton who had done a great job fundraising for two local charities.

This weeks #EYorksHour theme is #snapshot and you need to be prepared  before you join in to get the most out of the hour.

87% of the top most engaging posts on social media are photos! Therefore to have a top, engaging hour (which I'm sure it is every week) we are asking you to share three photos that will provide a #snapshot of you! The first you will share at 8.15pm, the second at 8.30pm and the forth at 8.45pm and they will be the following: 

8.15pm - A picture of you

8.30pm - A picture of something that makes you smile 

8.45pm - A picture explaining something we wouldn't know about you. 

This will then allow us to learn more about each other, see the personalities behind the twitter accounts and hopefully have a good laugh! 

For those that don't want to share pictures of themselves, you can share work related snaps or just simply network. Join us at 8pm until 9pm using #EYorksHour and #snapshot and please invite your followers to tweet along too! 

Tweet you later! 

Local charities!

Good day to you! 

Last week was a last minute #EYorksHour session due to it being Krissie's first day in her new job! Apologies to those who joined in to a theme free hour. However, this week we are back, all prepared and with a theme to keep your thumbs working hard! 

For those that don't know, one of our regulars (and much loved) Ali Crompton (@alicrompton), organised two fantastic events this weekend in aid of @kickstartTYACS and @thebrinknet! Both events were a great success and therefore we thought it would be a good opportunity to talk about your favourite, local charities too. It also happens to be National Volunteers Week, which again is closely linked with charities and compliments this weeks theme. 

In this hour please join in by using #EYorksHour #localcharity and join the discussion from 8pm until 9pm. 

Who is your favourite local charity and why? 

Are you hosting a fundraising event? 

Have you done or are doing a challenge to fundraise? 

Are you a charity and are looking for volunteers? 

Do you want to give a shoutout or thank you to a volunteer or two? 

Has a charity helped you in one way or another? 

Have a great day and we will tweet you later :-)
