Just:: Health PR is offering its communications expertise on a pro bono basis to
health charities. It’s ‘A Just:: Cause’ programme will run for one year.

 

There are four strands to the campaign:

 * The agency has partnered with communications charity [Media Trust](http://www.mediatrust.org)
   to provide **media relations expertise to organisations** and young people through
   its volunteer programme.
 * The agency’s Managing Directors will offer **mentoring services**, providing 
   one- to-one support to senior staff in the health charity world
 * Just Invent:: **Ideas generation sessions** to help charities overcome communications
   challenges
 * Just:: Academies: A series of **skills training workshops for managers and communications
   staff **who are keen to know more about political and media outreach

Gemma Taylor, Senior Consultant at Just:: Health PR, explained: “Everyone within
Just:: has an opportunity to get involved. This year we’re running Academies on 
Creativity, Political Relations and Crisis Communications – areas in which we know
charities are keen to build their expertise and where we have significant experience.”

 

Sue Davie, CEO of Meningitis Trust, one of the first charities to benefit from Just::’
s mentoring said: “The support we’ve had from Just:: over the last three years has
really helped shape our organisation. They have not just counselled us on PR issues,
they have advised on strategic planning, partnered with us on our first venture 
into Parliament and supported our lobbying campaigns.”

 

Just:: Health PR has provided pro bonn services to a number of health charities 
since 2006, including Beating BowelCancer, Family Planning Association, Food for
Life and Central YMCA.
