Writing an Inspiring, Clear Case for Support for Your Charity or Campaign
Join us for an interactive workshop and networking session. Whether you're launching a new appeal or refreshing an existing campaign, a strong case for support is essential. But how do you write one that truly connects?
In this interactive session, you'll learn how to:
- Identify your audience and tailor your message
- Motivate supporters through powerful storytelling
- Clearly communicate your charity's purpose and impact
- Build emotional connection and trust
Featuring Fi Harrison (Senior Fundraising Leader, University of Birmingham) and Richard Newell (Inspiring Copywriter, Perception Copywriting). Together, Fi and Richard bring a wealth of experience in fundraising strategy and compelling communications. You'll also have the opportunity to connect with fellow fundraisers from across the Midlands.
