Small Charity, Big Voice: A Practical Guide to Policy Influence

Small and local charities often hold detailed, current knowledge that larger organisations simply can't match. That's exactly the kind of evidence policy makers need to make informed decisions. But with limited time and no dedicated policy expertise, many small charities never get the chance to use it. 

Join charity consultant Sue Brown of Sue Brown Connects - who brings over 30 years' experience leading policy, strategy, and influence across the sector - for a practical, no-jargon session on getting started with policy influence, whatever your experience level. 

In this webinar, you'll learn how to: 

• Get clear on exactly what policy change you want to see, and why 

• Identify potential allies and build coalitions, locally or nationally 

• Anticipate and prepare for opposition 

• Build a strong case using data, evidence, stories, and practical demonstrations 

• Work out who actually holds the power to make your change happen 

• Choose the right tactics - from council meetings to consultation responses to media coverage 

Who should attend: Trustees, staff, and volunteers at small or local charities with little or no policy experience. No prior knowledge needed. 

What you'll get: We'll share Sue's free Policy Change Worksheet with everyone and there will be a chance to ask Sue questions as part of the session.
