Special interest groups
Corporate partnership also allows you and your staff to attend several of our special interest groups for free. Please note, however, that these groups are primarily aimed at our charity members and the Social Media, Campaign Network and Heads of Digital groups are exclusive to CharityComms organisational members. A limited number of delegates from our corporate partners are welcome to attend the other groups on a first-come, first-served basis.
