Thank you so much to everyone who took part in #ReclaimSocial yesterday – we even trended! But it’s not over yet. This is a movement, not a campaign so we need you to keep the hashtag alive!
We are delighted that #ReclaimSocial has already been featured by Third Sector, Charity Digital News, Charity Times and UK Fundraising so thank you for your support.
How has the message spread?
So far, #ReclaimSocial has had 16M social impressions from 1,500 posts and over 1,000 people and organisations have taken part.
Here are just a selection of some of the amazing #ReclaimSocial posts by charities and individuals.

Yet in just two years, she’s won Division 9 & 6 of the nationwide vision-impaired Postal League! 💪 #reclaimsocial pic.twitter.com/wXnY9QnGZh

Calling out @mermhart who’s “Miranda” on @netflix has kept me company many a long night during breast cancer treatment. She makes me smile & laugh out loud when I’m not sure I can. #ReclaimSocial

Without social media, #GivingTuesday would not have become a huge success around the world. Our movement relies on social media so that people can spread the word and ultimately #DoGoodStuff for others.#ReclaimSocial @lightful @GivingTues https://t.co/UU8JlHXFlA

For me this is about putting the spotlight on the good things we achieve via social media – things which are often overshadowed by the negatives and shouty stuff #ReclaimSocial
