We’re very proud to hear that Saints As One - a joint campaign with Southampton Football Club and Saints Foundation launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic - has won the Leaders in Sports Community Award.
Bullet created a social media video to promote the campaign using existing footage, celebrating what the team had been doing in lockdown to support those who were isolated and vulnerable around Southampton. This video helped capture the attention of Leaders and Facebook, who were searching for a project that tackles a social problem in a practical way, reducing barriers between people or groups and creating a lasting platform for positive engagement - and Saints As One stood out as a winning contender.
The campaign saw the club reaching out to fans through a range of initiatives, including club staff making over 4,000 calls to Season Ticket holders over 65, Saints Foundation delivering over 2,000 prescriptions to those most in need across the city, as well as staff volunteering 1,700 hours of their time to cook and distribute 13,000 meals in the local area.
We were delighted to be able to support the Foundation with their campaign and excellent work they do in the community and it’s great to see their efforts recognised.
