We all understand that having a PR strategy is important, but how do you go about developing one? In this session, we’ll hear how charities both large and small have developed PR strategies. We’ll share tips, techniques and tools for developing a PR strategy, and we’ll work together in small groups to create a shared resource to help you develop your own PR strategy.

About the PR Network
CharityComms’ PR Network is a group for professionals working in PR and media in UK charities and not-for-profits.
The PR Network gives you the chance to meet your peers, compare notes on workplace practices and share successes, ideas, challenges and inspiration. The network is designed to encourage networking and peer to peer support, sharing issues in a ‘safe’ environment.
The group meets three times a year to focus on a common challenge. The format of the meetings is one or two presentations on a specific topic, followed by small group discussions, providing a combination of best practice and peer-to-peer sharing.
