Upcoming Training
Introduction to AI and Automation with Nick Ellis from Select Technology.
Tuesday 9th September, 10.30-12 pm
Boost your impact, and fast: AI and automation for non-profits
AI is transforming the way organisations work and the voluntary sector is no exception. From automating repetitive admin to writing funding bids in minutes, AI tools can help charities, social enterprises, and community groups do more with less. And you don’t need a big budget or a full tech team to get started.
In this practical, jargon-free session, we’ll explore:
- Where AI came from and where it’s heading
- A brief history of AI, its rapid evolution, and what this means for people, processes and privacy.
- Practical, low-cost tools to save time, reduce manual errors and amplify your team’s impact.
- See how to draft a funding proposal in under five minutes in a live interactive demo.
- Tips on how to write AI prompts that deliver the results you need
Social Media with Zoe Cairns
Wednesday 8th October 10.30-12.30
A Simple System to Plan and Create 30 Days of Social Media
Managing social media alongside a busy role doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. In this 60-minute interactive session, Zoe Cairns will share her proven 30-Day Content Workflow, a simple and repeatable process that helps you plan, create and organise a month of content with confidence.
You’ll learn how to:
- Create consistent, purpose-driven content without starting from scratch each time
- Use tools, templates and AI to speed up your workflow
- Make the most of your existing assets and turn them into engaging posts
- Schedule and plan ahead to save time and reduce last-minute posts
This is a practical, hands-on session with real-time demonstrations, tools you can use straight away, and plenty of time to ask questions as we go.
To book onto either or both sessions, email Wendy for a booking form. The sessions are held on Zoom.
