Isn’t everyone on social media these days? This may be true, but are you maximising its use for the sustainability of your project or organisation?
This introductory session explores how social media can be used in fundraising and to engage with potential donors. Includes content angled to your needs and initial action planning for your organisation.
We are delighted to have guest tutor Lou Mycroft, a social media ninja and digital pioneer @loumycroft www.linkedin.com/in/louisemycroft, facilitating this session and sharing her top tips.
Lou uses FAB (Folded Arms Brigade) principles to support the development of digital meta-skills, enabling digital resilience and a growth in digital confidence.
