With mass participation events and community fundraising on hold for the foreseeable future due to social distancing rules, fundraisers are having to innovate to build relationships with sponsors and donors to raise money that is never more needed during the Coronavirus pandemic.

DSC’s Fundraising with Digital Marketing course on Thursday, 23 July will help you get to grips with new ways to raise funds. It’s online (of course) with plenty of breaks during the day so you won’t get swamped.

With recent case studies and lots of practical tips, this course will help you better understand the media available and how to adapt your messages to maximise the returns from each channel. And The Digital Fundraising Book is included for further learning.

I’m Rosie and I recently started as the Children and Community Engagement Officer with the Local Safeguarding Children Partnership, or ‘LSCP’. Our team work across Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster and Hammersmith & Fulham to make sure that organisations who support children and young people feel confident in how to keep them safe and what to do when they have safeguarding concerns. I hope to get to know as many community organisations as I can because I want to understand what it’s like growing up in Hammersmith and Fulham, what’s going well for the community, and where things could improve. It would be great to hear from you if you have questions, comments, ideas about safeguarding children and young people, or just want to say hello!

Please do get in touch with me at rtwomey@westminster.gov.uk, or on 07855 146 734. The LSCP also offer training, resources and advice on safeguarding policies and procedures to organisations. Like most teams at the moment, we’re thinking of ways to continue our work during COVID-19 while we can’t arrange training and events in person.
