Unit 1h - Create a newsletter
I was walking through the centre yesterday and asked myself the question “are we doing all we can to let people know about us and how they can help us?” I had a meeting with Sahira and Fergus to discuss how we could achieve this. Fergus suggested a news letter that could be sent out. He thinks we could let people know about the plans for the new building and about future charity events. Sahira believes that the most important thing for us to tell the people about the financial costs for the centre and also our adoption programme. I think people like would like quizzes or a competition. See, we have plenty of ideas about the contents for it, but we don’t have the skills to create one that will catch the public’s attention. We have had a growth in donars over the last few months so we need to keep them up to date with news. We need it to be as professional as possible, and also make sure that the information in them is relevant and correct. We can’t afford any mistakes with our first issue. |
