THIS WORKSHOP IS ONLY OPEN TO THOSE WHO HAVE RECEIVED A NEIGHBOURHOOD GRANT IN 2018.

Knowing when to promote what information with the right audience is key to a successful outreach plan. This workshop is designed to help you build a strong outreach plan to connect with local businesses, residents, volunteers and other key stakeholders.  You will be taken through each of the following steps:
