We are delighted with all the positive press coverage Beam has received following the launch.
As well as Sky and BBC, you may have seen Beam on Reuters, or in The Times, The Guardian and The Standard among many others.
Topics ranged from Beam’s transparency and emotional connectedness to costs of homelessness and digital innovation.
Our members have been amazing ambassadors for Beam and we are so proud that they used their voices to inspire others to get involved.
Here are a few of the highlights:
“This transparency in how donors’ money is spent, with regular photographs of the recipient on their training course or at work, is a key factor in convincing supporters that their money is having an impact.”
