Free Cardiff Media and Comms Speedmatching event

Do you run the communications for your charity? Are there aspects of your communications strategy that you would like to get advice on but aren’t sure where to turn to? If so, then we have the perfect event for you!

Join us on 30 November for a few drinks and nibbles and a Speedmatching with Cardiff’s best media experts!

Our Speedmatching events, based on the speed dating model, are an opportunity for you to meet and network with media and communications volunteers who can help you with the communications challenges you are facing.

So if you have a media and comms question or need an expert perspective on how you can engage your audience and communicate your stories more effectively, then why not give Speedmatching a go?

Who should attend?

If you deal with the communications within your charity then this event is perfect for you.

It’s a fun and informal way to get 1-1 advice from the experts , and if you really hit it off you might also end up recruiting a volunteer or two for your charity.

Due to demand, we can only accommodate one person from each charity at these events.

Before the event

To ensure you get the very most out of this event (and to help our volunteers prepare), we need you to tell us about the comms challenge you want to discuss with our volunteers at the event.

If you can’t make it then don’t worry: you can also submit any communications related request via our Volunteer Platform

It is really quick and simple, just follow these three steps:

1. Log in and go to your Volunteer dashboard. (If you haven’t already, register your charity now. It will only take a couple of minutes)
2. Follow the link on your dashboard to ‘Create an Opportunity’ (This will appear when you have registered your charity). Use this to outline your challenge and what you would like our volunteers to help you with during the event.

For our Speedmatching events to work, we rely on all participants turning up, if you register but are then unable to attend the event, please email alicem@mediatrust.org as soon as possible so we can offer your spot to another charity.
