🔴 Action Global Communications' UAE office proudly supported the latest mission of the Put Foot Foundation in Africa. The foundation aims to give underprivileged children hope, pride, and dignity by providing them with brand-new, quality school shoes, embodying the spirit of giving back and forming genuine, meaningful connections. 🚸 With the participation of former Actioneer Charlie Akielan, Put Foot Rally volunteers helped fit, lace, and gift thousands of shoes to children in need. "Back in 2005, Action was my very first job out of university, so it's been special to stay connected with the agency," said Charlie. "The Put Foot Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing schoolchildren across Southern Africa with shoes, ensuring they can stand tall among their peers in new footwear—something their families would otherwise struggle to afford. The rally has been running for 13 years, and this year, we fitted 1,300 pairs of new shoes at two local schools in Zambia." Supporting the initiative is in line with our ‘Call to Action’ programme, which builds on our belief that businesses can be a force for good. "It was humbling to sit in a dusty schoolyard as hundreds of kids waited patiently for their new shoes. Small, dusty feet, worn-out shoes, and holey socks were met with huge smiles as we laced up their brand-new shoes and socks, making it a truly special moment," added Charlie. "We often take things like school shoes for granted, but for these kids, it meant pride and being the same as their classmates. Supporting initiatives like this is so important, and with sponsors like Action boosting our fundraising, we can do so much more for those in need. We're incredibly grateful for Action’s support." #CallToAction #ActionUAE #GivingBack #MeaningfulConnections #PutFootRally

How can we communicate different aspects of the European Union to citizens in member states, remote regions and small communities? What does the EU mean to people in rural areas? The answer lies in a promising alliance between the European Commission and local governments. The network of local councillors was established a few years ago with the aim of bringing the EU closer to citizens, and now there are members across all EU27 countries. Action Global Communications, as the communication partner of the project, coordinated some local councillors’ participation at the European Week of Regions and Cities last week in Brussels. The team met local leaders, who - during a workshop - shared their experiences of organising events and local initiatives in their towns and villages, bringing Europe to people’s doorsteps. Within the EU Local Councillors’ network, these members act as ‘EU ambassadors,’ delivering news on regional topics of interest and sharing available opportunities with citizens - young and old, teachers or farmers - who benefit from this alliance by feeling closer and more directly connected not only to policymakers in Brussels, but also to peers in other EU countries. At Action Public Sector, we support this bold vision by working with colleagues in each EU country and assisting local councillors in shaping their communication efforts. Initiatives like this can strengthen the connection between the European Union and its citizens, helping people feel more engaged, informed, and involved in EU-wide projects that directly impact their lives. #eucouncillors #euregionsweek #actionglobalcommunications
