Bespoke Communications Training
Set your charity up for success with our practical Bespoke Communications Training for groups and teams.
Our bespoke communications training offer
We offer expert media and communications training, trusted by hundreds of charities across the UK.
We know that every charity faces different challenges. That’s why we work with you to create practical, engaging training that reflects your goals, your audiences and the realities of working with limited time and resources.
Whether you’re looking to improve your social media, strengthen your storytelling, make your content more accessible or help your team use AI with confidence, our bespoke communications training is designed around your organisation’s needs.
Our training is pitched at the right level and designed to be relevant to the comms challenges and opportunities that charities face. We understand what you need, because we have worked with hundreds of charities, and we’re a charity ourselves!
Why choose Media Trust’s bespoke training?
Up-to-date training from tried and tested experts
Many of our trainers bring years of experience as former journalists from renowned media outlets such as the BBC, Channel 4, ITV, and Sky. Their insights into the latest trends and best practices ensure that our training remains innovative and relevant in today’s fast-paced media landscape, dealing with challenges like the rise of AI, and the turbulent political landscape.
Rigorous quality assurance
With 30 years of training experience to draw on, we know how to get the most from your training budget, with plenty of opportunity for you to collaborate in the design of the sessions and provide feedback on how it went.
Flexible locations and group sizes
We offer both in-person and online training which can be delivered as two-hour, half-day or full-day sessions for a discounted cost.
Clear pricing structure
Prices start at £875 + VAT.
This includes a tailored training session designed around your organisation’s needs and delivered by an expert trainer with extensive charity sector experience.
If you’re looking to upskill a whole team, bespoke training can offer a cost-effective alternative to sending multiple colleagues on separate courses.
Low-cost/no-cost solutions
Our trainers are not going to sell you high-cost tools and strategies but work with you to identify free or very low-cost ways to achieve your comms goals.
Experience dealing with complex issues
Our trainers have trained organisations who cover sensitive areas, such as domestic abuse and race inequality, and are extremely well equipped to deal with complex and sensitive issues.
Specialise in intersectional storytelling
We understand no one lives one issue lives. We work on complex challenges and our training reflects our inclusive approach.
I really loved this training session. For me, the defining takeaway was the boost to my confidence. I have never done training like this before and have always been anxious about public speaking and interviews. However, the trainers were great, and their professionalism really made the mock interviews feel like they were the real deal.
