Trustee guide to campaigning and influencing
Trustee guide to campaigning and influencing - what you need to know
Are you a trustee and want to know more about effective campaigning and influencing?
Are you working to influencing change and want a resource to explain effective campaigning to your board?
This short guide outlines both what is required by the law and what is good practice in the development and implementation of effective campaigns. It’s relevant whether you are involved in a large organisation looking at the strategic overview or in a small organisation and are more directly involved in the day-to-day delivery of activities.
“I would encourage all trustees to read this accessible guide which demystifies the law and gives helpful examples. Written by a long in the tooth campaigner whose wisdom and hands – on experience shines through. After reading this, not only will you stay the right side of the law but you will also have fun. The guide inspires you to campaign and gives you the confidence and tools to deliver maximum impact.”
Rosamund McCarthy, Partner Bates Wells and Braithwaite
"Well done – this guide condenses such a vast subject into something so succinct, readable and useful."
