Twestival Home

When the opportunity to organise Glasgow Twestival Local came up I nobly foolishly volunteered. A couple of weeks on we have a motley crew of tweegies with expertise in event management, social media, PR, marketing, sound & video and much more, all ready to make this event something special.

Globally the last Twestival raised a staggering $250k for Charity:Water. This time it’s all about local causes.

Us #tweegies have decided to let the twittersphere decide which charity will walk away with the funds raised. You can vote and/or nominate your chosen cause on our UserVoice page. There’s some high profile causes on there already, such as ENABLE Scotland, Quarriers and the Big Issue Foundation along with some smaller charities, namely No Strings Attached and Glasgow Women’s Library. Voting ends at 12pm on 31st July.

The event itself will feature the finest local musical talent. Glasgow band Any Color Black are the first act to get involved and we’ll be announcing more over the next few weeks. We’ll also have a raffle, auction and a few other surprises on the night.

We’ve already secured some great prizes from @mckayflooring, @zungalow, @makingthenews and @alienation_ If anyone would like to donate a prize for the raffle or auction drop me an email: ross[@]thirdsectorlab.co.uk
