The very good NCVO webinar – How to use social media to fundraise – is now on Youtube – so you can watch it when you want.
This is a FREE Inbound Marketing Course & Certification from one of the largest web marketing companies. It is there for anyone from a CEO through to a student and does come with a certificate when you’ve completed it.
For those who are based in and around Stratford itself, I will be offering weekly mentoring sessions at the new Tyler House Community Hub (please contact Rachel Key – Hub Manager). It would be your chance to go through any of the course materials and if you have any problems, for me to help you sort them out!
If you are based in or around any of our major towns – Alcester, Shipston, Southam – that offer is also there. Please let me know if you would want this direct support and I will talk with your Town Clerk about a suitable venue and time
