Supporting Mental Health in 2020 Rebranding Through a Storm

About The Webinar

Big Orange Heart is a charity devoted to supporting and promoting the positive well being and mental health of remote working communities. Until recently they were known as WP&UP and focused on the WordPress community, but the global impact of COVID-19 encouraged the team to expand their mission at a time when it seems like everything is getting harder.

It took quick work to bring a new mission and brand to life, including platform enhancements and a website relaunch. Along the way Big Orange Heart learned about making the most of every minute and a shrinking donor base. They have stories to tell about everything from how remote work is affecting people’s mental well being to how important back-ups can be when the countdown is on.

With a new, enhanced base in place for the services and support that they deliver, Big Orange Heart are better placed than ever to help communities like ours thrive and help each other through hard times. You might even find that their story has a place in it for you, too.
