We provide a range of outreach and community engagement services. Community outreach is a highly effective tool when used as part of a social marketing initiative, or major information or behaviour-change campaign. It improves people’s lives by bringing about positive changes in attitudes and behaviour that can be sustained over time – whether it’s the TV digital switchover, a change to a public service, or encouraging marginalised groups to use the internet or take up a new welfare benefit.
Our approach to engagement and our range of outreach services are unique in that we work primarily through our extensive network of local voluntary and community sector partners, taking your messages – as information, advice and support - to targeted groups who may be hard to reach or who may experience barriers in understanding or coping with social change.
By partnering established networks of local, experienced voluntary and community organisations we reach a wide range of groups – older people, young mums, disabled people, people whose first language is not English, people with learning disabilities, students, and many more. We reach further than any TV or media campaign, delivering your information through trusted and reliable local voluntary sector partners in a systematic, planned and measurable way to make a real difference to people’s lives.
Each of our outreach services can be tailored to suit your specific communication needs or we can create bespoke programmes using elements from each. Click on the left hand links to find out how each service can help.
