Facebook Page Checklist (select image to enlarge)

1. Check the Links displayed on the Facebook Page - Do they link to the service's website and vice-versa?
2. Check the Date of the last post on the Facebook Page - how old was the last post? Move your mouse over the date to check the year. It may be the right Facebook account but no longer in use
3. Check the Posts displayed on the Facebook Page - are they related to the service? Do they seem likely or relevant? Are they linking to actual events?

As an Editor How can I help the Community Service?
Contact the service to let them know - they may be able to recover their page.
