Social Media and Acorns

Acorns has an active presence on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

These platforms are carefully managed by our marketing and communications team in a safe way.

Any children or families who are mentioned or photographed for Acorns social media are with the permission of parents or guardians. Stories are sensitively edited both to maintain confidentiality and to uphold the good reputation of the charity. Social media is also used to promote fundraising and to thank supporters.

Staff, volunteers and supporters of Acorns who have their own social media accounts are asked to be mindful of their personal link to Acorns and how their actions (such as comments and posts) can impact the charity and those who use Acorns services. Staff and volunteers are permitted to share stories from Acorns social media platforms including news and links but should refrain from writing posts or uploading photographs which may breech confidentiality or impact Acorns' reputation.
