We’re on the hunt to find the Status Social 2015 Charity of the Year. We love helping charities use social media to reach out to more people so we’re giving one charity a year’s free social media help.
Throughout 2014 we’ve been supporting Treetops Hospice in Risley, Derbyshire, with free social media training and consultation and we’re looking to support another East Midlands or East Staffordshire charity in 2015.
If you work for or run a charity in the region and would like some help with social media, we’d love to hear from you. We know how powerful social media can be and we are adamant that with the right training, charities can see impressive results.

Our chosen charity of the year will get our help with:
Developing a social media strategy
We will go back to the start and look at the following things with you:
- The difference between traditional marketing and social media marketing and the benefits of each.
- What your charity is currently doing on social media.
- What your charity would really like to achieve through social media.
- What social networks your key audience is using at the moment and has potential to use in the future based on research.
- Your charity’s tone of voice and how you engage with your followers.
- Your objectives and how you can measure your impact on social media.
- Creating a social media strategy that your charity can stick to and use with new staff and volunteers in the future.
Social media training
Once we have worked out the best social media strategy for your charity, we will train your staff on all the social networks that you need to use to attract your key audience.
The training may include:
- How your charity can use Facebook.
- How to use Twitter to increase the amount of people you reach out to.
- Writing great blogs that will get your charity found on Google.
- Using Pinterest to get more donations.

After looking at your website and your Charity of the Year 2015 appeal I was wondering when you will be looking at receiving applications for 2016?
Hi Julie, it is likely to be around October/November time. The best thing to do is make sure you are following us on social media – we will talk about it a lot particularly on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and Google+.
