What did Dr Graham think of social media? Given that he was born in 1861, it’s hard to be completely sure.

Then again, as a globetrotting writer, campaigner, and speaker, it’s fair to say he would have been intrigued by the outreach opportunities.

Instagram is one of the top four social media platforms in the world, with two billion monthly active users. Or 2,000,000,001, to be precise - because, this week, we’re officially launching our very own DGHUK instagram channel. And we’d love you to be part of it!

A new way to follow DGHUK

Like thousands of other charities in the UK, we’ll be using our instagram to explain who we are as a charity and what we’re up to. Every week, we’ll post new stories, pictures and videos that tell you more about Dr Graham’s Homes and the children we sponsor. Many of our readers will be friends and supporters who know all about the Homes. But we also want the channel to be a forum for people who are completely new to the charity - so they can catch the vision and, hopefully, join us on the journey!

How you can get involved…

We’d like to tell as many people as possible about the channel, so we can spread the message about DGHUK and the sponsorship scheme. This is where you come in! Please visit our channel and follow us today - and encourage friends and family members to follow us too. It will help us to grow our following and reach more people over the coming months.
