A project has launched that aims to raise £500,000 for five charities in five months using just social media.
The Just 1 Project, created by author, TED-X speaker and behaviourist, Jez Rose, asks people to donate one pound and then to share the project with their social networks. The five charities who will benefit from The Just 1 Project are: Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity; BASICS Hertfordshire; Brain Tumour Research; Youth Sport Trust and Contented Dementia Trust.

Rose was inspired to create The Just 1 Project by the film ‘Pay It Forward’ starring Kevin Spacey and Jon Bon Jovi.
Rose said:

“I wanted to realise the same ambition, and wondered if we could garner the strength of social media to raise big funds for charity. If half the people I am connected to, donate and share, and then they donate and share, we should reach our GBP500,000 in five months.”
