* Better Together is a nationwide campaign which aims to build support for charities, community groups, clubs and associations across the country by encouraging the public to support these good causes and make a difference in their communities.

The Wheel created the Better Together campaign in order to help raise public awareness and support for the work being done by thousands of charities, community groups, clubs and associations up and down the country.
