Spot Purchasing

4 Jul 2013 - 16:48 by Nigel Rose
Spot purchasing is a new and strange idea to many voluntary organisations but is becoming more common as public bodies seek to reduce costs. It can be a far riskier form of funding if it contributes significantly to the financial viability of an organisation, as there are usually no guarantees of income, unlike grants or fixed contracts.

Making an audio piece

A short audio piece (preferably a couple of minutes) can have a strong impact and convey the importance of your work. Audio can often be stronger than video as you need to concentrate and each listener can create their own images in their imagination. It can sometimes be more appropriate than film to and easier to get people involved in.

Here are some resources to help you think about why you might use audio, the best way to use it and tips on editing using Audacity (a free editing package). Remember it should be 80% planning 20% doing!

Making a film

A short film (preferably no more than three minutes) is a great way to tell your story and show the impact your work is having on either an end user or volunteer on your project. Here are some resources to help you think about how to tell your story, planning the footage you need and tips to editing using VideoPad (a free editing package). Remember it should be 80% planning 20% doing!
