UK Fundraising’s popular ‘Fundraising with Twitter’ half-day course returns next
month in London. This time it is complemented with a new half-day course presented
by Simon Frank, founding partner and creative director of Beautiful World.

A professional copywriter and brand expert, Simon has worked with third sector organisations
and commercial brands such as RSPCA, RSPB, Breast Cancer Campaign, The Soil Association,
Microsoft, BUPA and Ford.

and influence people online”. Taking place at The Hub in London’s King’s Cross, 
the afternoon course will be “a creative session full of practical tips on how to
hone your copywriting skills to make 140 characters work hard for your organization
and have the maximum impact”.

Tickets are £100 + VAT for charities, nonprofit, public sector, and social enterprise
organisations. The course is not open to for-profit organisations.

It will be preceded that day (5 October) by Howard Lake’s separate half-day course
on ‘Fundraising with Twitter’, which has been running since March this year. This
morning course features practical examples and ideas of how Twitter is being used
as a fundraising tool and how charities can make the best use of it.
