Charity communicators have both the privilege and the challenge of helping those affected by major social issues every day. For example we push for narrative change around topics like the climate, refugee and housing crisises. We also foster the creation of space for open debates about inequalities around health, welfare, and inclusion. Our scope is vast and we try to raise up the voices of those directly affected at every turn.
What is happening around us in society impacts all our cause areas in different ways. See how charities are tackling some of the biggest issues of our time below and draw inspiration from your peers.
*If you are working on any of the social issues below and would be willing to share your comms learnings too then please do get in touch by emailing adel@charitycomms.org.uk
