Local voluntary and community sector groups are invited to this free social media advice session. You'll get practical hands-on advice for putting social technology into action for your cause, to help you reach a wider audience and promote the good work you do.

Whether it's getting started sharing your group's stories and aims through blogging, forming a community around a Facebook group, or reaching out and engaging new supporters and service users through Twitter, our plain-talking volunteer advisors will be on-hand with suggestions on how to effectively use social media to promote an important cause.

This free event is for not-for-profit organisations and groups.  Places are limited, so booking is essential.  If you'd like to volunteer, you can register your support here too.

The GIST Lab is a community collaboration space operated by The GIST Foundation in partnership with the Showroom Workstation.  Find directions here.
