Every year MS Ireland runs the READaTHON event which is a sponsored read for young people. This year they’re looking for kids, teachers and librarians to get involved and join ‘the crew’ to help raise much needed funds for those living with Multiple Sclerosis. The event is now in its 22nd year.

The bright and vibrant website provides information about how to get involved; how the money generated is used; the prizes and the facility to sign up online to take part.

Campaign microsites are a fantastic tool for short term campaigns to promote a specific event; fundraising opportunity or a special offer for a product or service. They can be used in conjunction with other marketing activities such as email campaigns and they’re quick to set up, fun and cost effective.
 

The new site will help to promote the fantastic work that the organisation are doing and how you can get involved, whether you’re a service user or someone who would like to volunteer.

WECIL is a not-for-profit organisation which is run and controlled by a Management Committee who are all Disabled people and all contributed their feedback to the look and feel of the new site.

Now you can check out the website for news about the organisation and the industry, find out how to get involved and support the organisation and by the end of next week you’ll also be able to log-on and discuss topics in the online forum called ‘Let’s talk’.

"Focus New Media have been hugely helpful from conception to completion of this project.  They have managed to capture our thoughts and transform these into a fun, fully functional and inspiring web presence."

This very August 5th is Bristol Playday 2009 - a national one day celebration of children's right to play. Taking place on College Green in Bristol, we're joining in the fun with our friends from Bristol City Council and thousands of specially invited children from around the city.

As if that isn't enough excitement we're also showcasing our new site for the council - Go Places To Play - a new interactive site which has information on all the play areas and sites throughout the region. We'll be presenting the web site to parents, children and other civic guests - getting their feedback and posting photos of the day on the web site. Check back for more updates!
