Influencing and campaigning

Working together can be a very powerful way of raising awareness of a specific cause or influencing people and policies. A united campaign has the potential for much greater impact than that of an organisation working alone. Benefits include:

  • a stronger voice and influence on local or national policy
  • efficiency savings from pooling expertise and resources
  • organisational and individual development through shared learning
