Internal support for a cause is essential – for the people you serve, for your campaign, for you.

Internal support for a cause is essential – for the people you serve, for your campaign, for you. Without the support of your organisation internally, you can’t expect to win externally. This online workshop will look at ways to achieve, improve and widen support for a campaign within your organisation - including from senior leadership teams and boards. We will hear from senior campaigners on how they have ensured internal support for their causes, and how it has strengthened their efforts to create change. Participants will: <ul><li>Understand how to match a campaign to the priorities of the organisation </li><li>Explore how to sell your Theory of Change to a board and ensure that they are your best advocates </li><li> Work on pitching your campaign to senior staff members and ensuring they match the organisations priorities and vision. </li></ul>Who is this course for? •	 Anyone with responsibility for developing campaigning responses to the challenges their organisation is tackling •	 Campaigners keen to influence organisational priorities or better integrate campaigns into their organisation’s wider work •	 Board members who want to better understand how to support campaigning activity This workshop will be led by the team at m2, established in 2016 by Miranda Lewis and Matthew Davis who bring a mix of expertise and experience in evaluation, training, coaching and strategic communications. Current clients include, IWM; Gingerbread; Reprieve; King’s Fund and the Wellcome Trust.
