Back in May, Monument Community Trust (MCT) put on a Social Media workshop for charities. The idea for the event came from talking to local charities, who wanted to see how Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn could help raise their profile, engage with supporters, and connect with businesses. Over 40 people attended the event in Botley, with our 2 expert speakers – Sarah Fletcher from Mushroom Souffle www.mushroom-souffle.co.uk and Nick Streeter from the charity Special Effect www.specialeffect.org.uk For many it was a first step into understanding the benefits of using social media and to grow their confidence. A huge success, which also raised money for MCT that goes towards helping other local charities
