Community Engagement

You know social media matters. It’s where you share your impact, bring your research to new audiences and get your campaigns seen. 

But you’re not the RSPB, National Trust or the Crab Museum. Memes, reactive content and comedy sketches don’t fit your brand, and somewhere along the way you’ve started to worry you might be too serious for social. Here’s the good news: you’re not. 

Serious subjects can make brilliant social content. You just need a different playbook. 

NPC’s Systems Change Community of Practice is a space for people interested in systems change to connect, learn from one another and explore what systems thinking means for their organisations, work and practice. It builds on NPC’s wider systems practice work and is intended to help people share experiences, challenges and learning from their own systems change journeys, while developing their practice alongside peers.

Effective boards require more than technical expertise. They rely on the right mix of skills, behaviours, perspectives and participation to make sound decisions and fulfil their responsibilities.

This flagship Trustee Week webinar will explore the findings of CGIUKI's Modern Trustee research and consider what organisations can do to build stronger, more inclusive and more effective boards.

Join Media Trust for a one-hour online panel on care, power and impact.

How can charities support spokespeople with lived experience to shape media conversations safely, effectively and on their own terms?

What we'll explore

Manchester City Council is inviting social enterprises to take part in one of two online workshops to help shape a forthcoming programme of support for social enterprises in Manchester.
