We work effectively for the not-for-profit sectorNot-for-profit sector services |
Not-for-profit sector supportThe not-for-profit sector is becoming more important to the delivery of effective public services. This sector is providing expertise in almost every policy area. It is also reaching out to people in a way that both government and the private sector cannot. Working in this sector, you probably already have experience of the political process. Maybe you have concentrated on trying to get a specific message across, or achieving legislative change. Perhaps you’ve simply been trying to raise the profile of your organisation and the work that it does. But in the clamour of other competing voices, can you be sure that your priorities and concerns are being heard? Maybe you are ready for a fresh approach. If so, we invite you to talk to Politics International. We have direct experience of working with both charities and not-for-profit organisations. We understand the resource pressures under which these organisations work and pride ourselves on delivering a value-added service. We never seek to replicate work that clients can do best themselves. Instead we look to provide a cost-effective, value-added service that enhances our clients’ communications activities across the board. Not-for-profit sector services Politics International offers a full range of core and specialist services. Our not-for-profit sector clients have told us that the following are among the most useful. Monitoring your environment Although some voluntary sector organisations seek to run a monitoring service in-house, we have found that out-sourcing this service is a more cost-effective option for most organisations. We can achieve economies of scale by providing this service to a large number of clients, whilst still offering information tailored precisely to their needs. Evaluating your campaigns Most campaigns need to start from a very clear idea of how you and your messages are viewed. The best way to test this is to carry out an audit with your key stakeholders. This assesses how effective you have been so far, and provides a benchmark for where you want to be in the future. Delivering effective messages Politics International will advise you on the best way to get your messages across whether through written briefings, face-to-face meetings and newsletters, or using small seminars and dinners, press conferences and receptions. We’ll also produce briefing materials for you, and give you any administrative back-up you need such as mail-shots. Influencing policy development The formal development of policy takes place mainly through consultation papers and government inquiries, and the introduction of legislation. Politics International can help you draft and disseminate submissions. We’ll also make sure you are properly trained for any oral hearings you are asked to attend. Understanding the process We are expert in parliamentary procedure and can advise on how to maximise your chances of securing amendments to bills, as well as how best to use Early Day Motions, questions and Private Members’ Bills to further your campaign. Raising your profile We can help with your profile raising through media work and informing other key audiences, like donors and your employees. Time to think We have pioneered round table discussions, which we typically hold with clients once or twice a year. The aim is to take a step back from day to day work and have a wide-ranging and highly strategic discussion on the wider political environment and how our clients fit into it. [About
