If you’ve not yet had a chance to look at our new, interactive Social Media Toolkit for Volunteers, check out our short video below for a quick overview.
(You can turn the captions on or off by clicking on the little 'cc' button at the bottom of the screen. It'll appear if you hover your mouse over the video while it's playing).
What’s in the video
The video gives you a quick run through of what you can expect when you access the Social Media Toolkit. We’ve broken up the toolkit into digestible sections, which our Learning and Development Officer, Josh, runs through during the video. He also gives some guidance on how to navigate your way around it. And an overview of the different features and how we’ve designed the toolkit to be accessible for all.
About the Social Media Toolkit
The Social Media Toolkit isn’t compulsory training but has lots of useful tips, ideas and guidance on how to get the most out of your Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter) and Instagram account(s).
You’ll find all you need to know about setting up accounts, writing engaging bios, resizing images and logos, branding tips, using social media for recruitment, using handles and hashtags, writing social media posts in an engaging way (and ideas about what to post), how to build your following, and so much more!
You’ll also hear top tips on using social media from people in our community. As well as find out what to do to maintain access to your group’s social media accounts.
