Make a bigger impact with 1284's specialised PR service for charities and social entrepreneurs.
1284START is designed to help you budget for the quality comms you need to raise profile, develop strategy, and reach new supporters.
It's an affordable way of influencing your stakeholders through funding bids, PR campaigns, governance documents, media relations, and more.
Charities need people to know their story if they are to build a meaningful connection with their audience.
By sharing your values, you communicate a narrative of impact, purpose, and mission.
Shared values inspire people to invest in your charity emotionally and financially.
Use of website, social media, video content, email newsletters, and annual reports also builds transparency and confidence in your governance.
Winning funding and grants enables you to invest in social innovation which increases your impact and organisational resilience.
Successful applications also allow you to scale operational outputs - increasing crucial services which make a tangible difference to peoples' lives.
Our experience of strategic writing helps charities and social entrepreneurs shape winning bids that make a fundamental difference.
