This document provides a suggested weekly social media timetable for charities to engage supporters and share updates about their cause. It includes allocating time on specific days for tasks on Facebook and Twitter, such as thanking new followers, responding to comments and mentions, sharing content like news stories and blogs, and scheduling promotional updates for fundraising events. The goal is to provide a less overwhelming approach to social media for charities while maximizing engagement and awareness of their cause.
