I have just contacted Ocean Finance as they advertised their Win the Tin competitions for small charities, below is what I emailed them. Firstly I would like to thank you for Veterans In Action being selected to be in the top 20 of ‘small’ charities in the ‘Win the Tin’ competition. I have had the link put on our website veteransinaction.org.uk/ and have been sharing it on our social media sites and we have been getting what I thought was a great response as we are a ‘small’ charity. I was a bit confused though when I saw that although we were getting many people voting for us and most of them sharing the link that we were hardly moving forward. I then had a quick look at the two top charities with the most votes and found that the Millie’s Trust have almost 144,000 like on Facebook and the charity in second position, Count the Kicks have over 181,000 likes, hardly a fair competition as these are obviously not small charities. I am a bit disappointed in this as the competition was advertised as helping small charities and feel we have been used as a marketing ploy with only two real potential winners as all the other charities are small and need the funds just to survive.
