The Media Trust is looking into the current and future communications needs of the
voluntary and community sector in England.

The research, which is being undertaken on behalf of the Active Community Unit 
of the Home Office, aims to seek the views of charities and voluntary organisations
and to test the feasibility of delivering a significant increase in communications
capacity building and resources.

The Trust is inviting feedback from communications or training staff, or those who
have been trained in communications, at English organisations. All respondents will
be entered into a draw to receive a free place at a Media Trust training seminar.

The trust hopes that the findings will help improve communications between charities
and voluntary groups and the press and PR agencies.
