Join the 2018 Safer Internet Day Thunderclap

12 January 2018

Help to make Safer Internet Day 2018 the biggest yet by signing up to our Thunderclap.

Last year our Safer Internet Day Thunderclap had a global reach of nearly 8 million people. This kick-started the social media campaign and led to #SID2017 trending all day on Twitter in the UK! You can help us reach even more people this year by signing up to the Thunderclap.

What is Thunderclap?

Social media is very fast moving and posts can often get lost within a timeline. To help us achieve maximum impact on Safer Internet Day, Thunderclap schedules the same message across Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr from everyone who signs up to support.

Signing up for our Thunderclap will mean that on the 6th February 2018 a message of support will go out automatically from your account at 8.30 am.

What will be shared from your account

When signing up to the Safer Internet Day Thunderclap you will have the chance to approve the message before you agree to it being shared to your account.
