Social media, web-based networking and marketing is a key to charities and communities doing things better. As part of our Heritage Lottery Funded programme, we want to get to know our neighbours more and share the good things together.

These Social Media Surgeries are free and aimed at equipping each other with the confidence and ability to get our messages across.  Come to any or all. Just let us know you are coming- you can drop in.

Take a note of the dates and visit here to let us know you’re coming

No boring speeches, no jargon.

Volunteers and local partners are offering social media help to voluntary organisations, community groups, charities, clubs and societies in a relaxed, informal setting.

This surgery can also offer help with using data or government open data to gather evidence or make a case. Besides that we can offer advice and practical help to blog, use video or social networks like Twitter and Facebook to give a real boost to campaigning organisations, often for no or little cost.

So these experts are offering you approachable one-to-one help and support because they believe it can help. You might just want to see what is possible and go away and think about it. You might be itching to set up a blog and start using it. Perhaps you think video might help you tell your story but don’t know where to start? All is possible.

There’ll be no lectures, just people with knowledge, ideas and a passion to help you make best use of the internet for your group or organisation.

You’re welcome along to receive help, or volunteer to give it but if you’re coming along to offer some help don’t forget your laptop!
