LinkedIn for Charities

Is your charity getting to most out of LinkedIn?

LinkedIn users in the UK have grown by 17% since September 2020. There’s a huge audience which you can tap into if you know how to use the platform effectively. However, it can be challenging to get started and then build momentum without wasting hours aimlessly scrolling!

In this session, we will show you how to set up your charity page, create content that’s engaging, and explore ways you can get your staff and volunteers involved. Most importantly, we will share strategies for saving time when you’re using and navigating the platform, so you can make the most of every minute.

If you are a Postcode Lottery grantee and the session is fully booked or your code isn’t being accepted, please email osianb@mediatrust.org to be added to the waitlist.
