Third Sector Lab: Social Media Strategy for Impact and Engagement

This interactive session will help you to ensure your social media activity is closely aligned to organisational goals. You'll come away from this session with an understanding of how social media can help your organisation achieve its aims, how you can protect your charity, staff and volunteers with a simple policy, and which channels are key to your online presence and content planning techniques.

• Understanding the benefits of using social media 
• How to focus on your users 
• Developing a social media strategy 
• Developing a social media policy 
• Channel specific Q&A covering Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and beyond
