Separate help from publicity
People should be able to receive support without feeling that they owe a photograph or testimonial. Ask the organising team how consent is handled, and avoid putting individuals on the spot. If there is uncertainty, choose an image of supplies, a venue or consenting volunteers instead of identifying the people being supported.
Describe the work accurately
Explain what happened, where the project operated at an appropriate level of detail and what the team actually delivered. Avoid dramatic before-and-after stories that simplify a person's life. Do not turn estimated attendance into a claim about lasting impact. A modest, specific account is more useful than a sweeping promise.
Check the update before sharing
Look for names on forms, phone numbers on labels and identifiable details in the background of photos. Let the coordinator review the material through their usual process. If someone later asks for a correction or removal, respond promptly. Dignity should remain part of the project after the activity ends.
