Social Media and Marketing - Voluntary Sector Support

This practical, friendly workshop is designed for people working in the voluntary sector who manage their organisation’s social media and website, often alongside many other roles.

We’ll explore what tends to work on the main social media platforms (and what doesn’t), and guide you on creating clear, confident and consistent content that speaks to your audience. You’ll learn how to plan content, tell compelling stories, stay on brand, use your website more effectively, and make the most of limited time and resources.

With simple tool recommendations, and plenty of space for questions, you’ll leave with ideas you can use straight away to improve reach, engagement, and impact.

Rachael Dines is a Chartered Marketer and Founder of award-winning marketing company Shake It Up Creative in Worthing. She has worked with hundreds of small businesses and charities and is a marketing Expert in Residence for BIPC Sussex and Community Works.
