On the 25th of March, KMP Digitata sponsored the 2nd Manchester Twestival, which was part of a global effort to raise money for Concern Worldwide. The event was a great success with 175 cities around the world getting involved and raising over $460,000, with Manchester raising £5325 of it.

In what could the final awards we go to in 2010 the SomeComms awards are to celebrate the best in UK social media communications and recognise the individuals, companies and organisations who are revolutionising the use of online to communicate in cool and innovative ways.
