Big Hearts & Yard Digital – One Year On!

Last month marked one year of Big Hearts & Yard working together on Big Hearts’ online presence.

12 months ago, Big Hearts was dealing with an outdated website that suffered from a lack of ability both to collect data and to effectively engage with its stakeholders, but the last year has been a trans-formative one with fantastic results.

Thanks to the fantastic pro-bono work of Yard Digital, Big Hearts now has:

  • A responsive website which allows the charity to share its latest news, programme updates and volunteering opportunities.
  • Nearly 1200 signed up Big Hearts Supporters.
  • Close to 100 active volunteers.
  • An email system which ensures Big Hearts Supporters get the latest updates direct to their inbox, with an average open rate of 52.91% – well above the industry standard.

 

Yard’s CEO Stephan Briggs commented:

“Big Hearts have come a long way in the last twelve months and as their partner digital agency (as well as lifelong Hearts fans) it’s been great to see the charity evolve. All of us at Yard are very proud of the contribution we have made in supporting the crucial role Big Hearts plays in improving the lives of its community members and we’re looking forward to seeing even more positive results going forward.”

We are delighted to say that this fantastic partnership will continue into 2017 and there will be many more exciting developments to come.

Thank you to all at Yard Digital from all connected with Big Hearts Community Trust.
