Small Charity Week Comms Coaching

If you would like tips on effectively communicating your stories, are looking to increase engagement on social media or there are aspects of your communications strategy that you would like input on, this event is an excellent way to get real-time advice, ideas and feedback.

Media Trust is partnering with The FSI for Small Charity Week’s Big Advice Day to offer your small charity the opportunity to attend an exclusive comms coaching event. 

This event brings you together with top media and creative industry professionals who want to volunteer their time and expertise to help charities like yours to build your comms skills, reach and knowledge. 

How it will work?

Charities are invited to meet in themed breakout rooms on Zoom with 5-6 fellow charities, for small group coaching sessions led by volunteers on a specific communications topic you want to develop for your charity. 

Participating charities will have an opportunity to bring their communications challenges and questions to the session to get valuable coaching and advice and learn from your peers. 

Each breakout group will focus on a different communications area: 

1. Film and content production – including creating content that stands out, creative tips to tell your story through compelling content and best practice for accessible content.
2. Social media and digital marketing – including tips and tools to increase engagement, reach and support across social media platforms. 
3. Comms strategy and planning – including tips on strategic comms planning on small budgets with limited resources and answering your most pressing strategic comms questions to help you prioritise the impact you want to have. 

What is Big Advice Day?

Big Advice Day 2021 is taking place in Small Charity Week, to improve the knowledge, representation and sustainability of charities across the UK. The day aims to help and develop knowledge and skills of small charities in key areas through the provision of expert advice.

Who should attend?

Due to demand, we can only accommodate one person per charity and those who are responsible for communications. This event is only for charities with a turnover under £1 million.
