During the last four years fandoms have proved their power. This time, once again, they’re using it as a force for good, by encouraging fans to raise money for charity in the #UniteForCharity campaign.
Created by twitter user @STYLATORARMY it’s about fandoms and communities coming together to raise money for the mental health charity SANE.
This campaign has caused a frenzy online with celebrities such as X Factor super-star @FleurEast and influential Twitter users such as Harry Styles’ cousin @matty_selley backing the project.
