Improving your communication skills with NICVA and Bespoke Communications

In your organisation, what you do is changing lives. Your work is helping families and communities to overcome great difficulties, but do you sometimes struggle to effectively communicate your impact?  Your work in the future relies on you being able to demonstrate the value of the important work that you’re doing today.  You want to show your community, your funders, your donors and supporters the impact for every penny that they invest in your organisation.  But where do you even begin?

The good news is that demonstrating impact doesn’t have to be hard work.  You’ve got all the resources you need already.  You know the stories of the people that you work with better than anyone.   If you can tell those stories in a way that connects, you’re already half way there.

NICVA has been working with Bespoke Communications over the last 2 years to develop and deliver this range of communications sessions as part of our training calendar, so that you can learn what you need to do to tell your story so that your audience really listens. We have added a couple of new training sessions in response to what you have been asking us for. Here Sarah Travers tells us more https://vimeo.com/385052953

These sessions are targeted at our Media Connect members, but they are open to anyone in our sector.  They provide the opportunity for you to develop and hone your skills and increase your confidence when working with the media. Media Connect is an online platform that connects voluntary sector expertise with journalists and media professionals.
