Building a charity brand on a budget

25 Mar

Wednesday 25 March 2026 14:00 - 16:00

Explore how your charity can build a clear, confident brand identity on a tight budget

Many charities know that their brand could work harder for them, but don’t have the time, budget or support to give it the attention it deserves. The good news? Strong, memorable branding doesn’t have to be expensive. With the right tools and a simple process, you can create a brand that feels aligned, consistent and instantly recognisable to your audience.

This practical, hands-on workshop will walk you through the building blocks of great charity branding, with real examples from small organisations and free or low-cost ways to strengthen your identity straight away.

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

  • How to put yourself in your audience’s shoes and understand their needs

  • How to define your brand character so you can express yourself in a clear, distinctive way
  • How to identify the visual elements that make you stand out, and how to use them effectively
