Easy Design with CANVA

Create professional-looking flyers without needing design experience.

This is a FREE workshop with limited places available to keep the session practical and interactive. Our workshops are designed to be friendly, informal and practical, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and learn from each other.

Promoting your events and activities is important, but designing flyers can often feel time-consuming and overwhelming - especially when you’re already busy delivering services in your community.

This hands-on workshop will introduce you to Canva and show you how to create simple, professional - looking flyers without needing design experience. The focus will be on creating templates you can reuse again and again, so you spend less time designing and more time doing the work that matters.

By the end of the session, you’ll have practical tools you can immediately use to promote your projects and activities.

In this FREE workshop you will learn:

• How to create a simple flyer template that reflects your group
• Easy ways to adapt templates for different events or activities
• Practical tips to make your flyers clear, engaging and eye-catching
• How to add QR codes so people can quickly find your website or social pages

This workshop is ideal for:

• Community groups and grassroots organisations
• Small charities and voluntary groups
• Volunteers responsible for promotion or communications
• Organisations with limited time or marketing experience

No previous design, marketing or social media experience is needed.

• Laptop
