Big Orange Heart – Supporting Remote Workers
We are excited to be a sponsor for the online, WordFest Live event this year! And, we’ll write more about the event in upcoming blog posts, but in this first post, we wanted to spread the word about Big Orange Heart, the non-profit organization behind this free, global WordPress event.
The proceeds from the event will go to help support the organization’s delivery of their services – services that since the pandemic have become even more needed worldwide.
ABOUT BIG ORANGE HEART
Big Orange Heart (formerly WP&UP) became a registered charity in August of 2018. Since that time, companies across the remote working communities have partnered with them to enable a team to grow and develop professional support and counseling services, as well as, promote positive well-being and mental health within these communities.
With the ever-growing number of remote workers, we are seeing an increase in people from the global community openly acknowledging they are experiencing mental health issues linked to isolation.
Big Orange Heart’s mission is to support and promote positive well-being and mental health within remote working communities.
