Communications Planning

As a small charity or community organisation, communication is at the heart of achieving your everyday goals. It can be tempting to give the same information in the same formats to everyone – with a one-size fits all approach fitting in with your everyday work of supporting people and places.  

At the same time, you already know that adapting your messaging and communications could help you get better results and ultimately save you time. 

This practical session will help you creating a simple, workable communications plan you can use to reach the people that matter to you. 

We’ll look at the building blocks of communications before considering the types of communications such as newsletters, social media, email, press, events, presentations and websites.  

You’ll come away with some actions to take to improve your communications and tips for delivering your plan within your everyday work. 

• Recognise key elements of a simple communications plan 

• Select and prioritise who to reach 

• Start defining what you need them to know 

• Discuss the best ways to reach them 

• Outline your next actions 

Follow up one to one support will be available.
