We raise local awareness to build engagement!
Our dedicated Communications Unit drives regional updates to help residents and public sector bodies see the evidence of community impact from local charities and social enterprises we support.
Our business members are automatically carried along within this, brand placement and deep channel marketing, giving brands the new way to reach and engage communities they serve.
For communities to trust that change is happening, you need to show it taking place around them!
We've been capturing and then sharing insights as stories into communities since 2014, when we began connecting businesses with community NGOs in Africa.
Today, we ensure the fantastic work taking place inside communities and sponsored by our Business Members, is pushed out to local residents and also to the public bodies spending taxpayers money on business services and goods.
Across the UK, we maximise THREE channels...
Across our UK digital community of charities and social enterprises, we help them to capture the relevant stories of the impact being made, this ensures we have content which is relevant for local residents and public bodies to engage with.
However, through our unique structure of regional partnerships and THREE channels, we can target all this content and build community awareness and engagement. :
Public Sector Comms
We are providing a unique support to every police force, fire service and council in the UK, all connected into our Regional Social Impact Framework.
This gives us an enviable regional access to over 300 communications PR teams, enabling us to share stories through their links to regional TV and media, social media and also closed internal networks.
Community Social Media
In return for us supporting charities and social enterprises within regions, we ensure they fully utilise their social media channels and reach.
This gives us a unique access to hundreds of social media platforms, which in turn enables us to reach thousands of UK residents who follow them - who can then share updates to their own networks.
Community Radio
Having forged a social impact partnership with membership body, the UK Community Radio Network, we have an unrivalled local radio broadcast capability to utilise.
Through a UK network of over 300 local community radio stations, who are registered with Ofcom to provide residents with local broadcast services, we enable all our charities and social enterprises to access a radio broadcast service through which to communicate their stories and update local residents.
This not only connects radio stations with community organisations to broadcast, but also places business sponsors at the heart of communities within then broadcasts.
