Here’s how Ireland’s Great Get Together looked

On Air personalities from each station engaged their audiences with Facebook videos.

These videos were at the start of the campaign, encouraging people to get involved and sign up to the Focus Ireland event.

Cork’s C103 made Ireland’s Great Get Together the centrepiece of their 20th April outside broadcast, on the afternoonEric Griffin Show in Clonakilty.

Here is their Thank You video after a successful outside broadcast:

LMFM hosted a bake sale fundraiser, raising funds, generating interest and reaching 1000s across their social media network.

Live 95FM had a tea and cake fundraiser on the morning of 20th April, with everyone in the station getting involved.

We also used caption videos to raise awareness of the wider social problem of family homelessness.

Martin King from Q102 held a coffee morning for Ireland’s Great Get Together on O’Connell Street.
