What is a Twestival?

Twestival® (or Twitter Festival) uses social media for social good by connecting communities offline on a single day to highlight a great cause and have a fun event. Twestival is the largest global grassroots social media fundraising initiative to date. Since 2009, volunteers have raised close to $1.2 million for 137 nonprofits. All local events are organized 100% by volunteers and 100% of all ticket sales and donations go direct to projects.

This years Twestival in Belfast is in aid of Aware NI

Aware Defeat Depression has been working since 1996 to support all those in Northern Ireland affected by depression or bipolar disorder (manic depression). We also welcome and support carers. We opened our first office in Derry/Londonderry and now have a second office in York Street, Belfast where our helpline is based. We also have an established network of over twenty support groups in rural and urban areas across the country, which are run by our trained volunteers.

You can find more details on AwareNI on their website http://www.aware-ni.org/ . If you can please make a donation to this very worthy cause!
