Social media boosts Down's Syndrome fundraising football event

by Pete Hughes from Oxford Mail:
Social media helped make this year’s Down’s Syndrome Oxford football tournament the most successful ever.
Organiser Niki Archer trebled the number of teams from seven to 21 and raised more than £1,000, thanks to her use of Facebook.
The 31-year-old from Wootton, whose four-year-old Archie has Down’s, said she was amazed by how successful Sunday’s tournament at Milton United’s ground near Didcot was. She said: “It was a lot of work and very tiring towards the end, but when I came home and turned on my phone, I found so many messages of thanks saying it was a wonderful day.
“The amount of money and awareness we’ve raised for a small charity is brilliant.”
