JustGiving launches #ICare Twitter campaign and appoints Rapp as UK CRM partner
Katie Price, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Sinitta and Arlene Phillips are among the first high profile figures to back JustGiving’s #ICare Twitter campaign which aims to inspire people on the social networking site to share the causes they feel passionately about.
“With just a month to go until Giving Tuesday, the global day of giving, we’re encouraging people to publically share the causes they care about. By showing they care on Twitter, together we can help causes to reach more people, inspire more action and raise more money,” said Charles Wells, chief marketing officer at JustGiving.

Like the celebrities Twitter users are encouraged to copy a sample tweet which includes the name of the charity they support, an image of them making a heart shape with their hands and a friends Twitter handle asking them who they support to keep momentum going.
