A practical marketing and storytelling hub for charities covering social media, video, press, case studies and annual reports that respect supporters and still reach more people.

Frequently asked questions

What should a small charity focus on first in marketing?

Start with a clear story and one or two channels you can sustain. It is better to do a simple newsletter and one social channel well than to spread a tiny team across everything.

How do we tell supporter stories without exploiting people?

Get real consent, let people shape how they are described, and show dignity rather than pity. A respectful story is usually more powerful than a dramatic one.

Do charities still need press coverage?

Press can help reach and trust, but only when the story is genuinely newsworthy. For most small charities, owned channels and case studies do more day to day.
