Sector expertise/Voluntary sector, charities and trade associations

The communications environment for voluntary organisations is highly competitive and demands care and skill to build and maintain reputation and reliable funding. Charities, pressure groups, not-for-profit and membership bodies share a need to gain not only profile, but understanding, sympathy and active buy-in if they are to achieve their objectives.

A specialist PR resource is an invaluable adjunct to the organisation in securing and maintaining recognition and regulatory approval as much as in keeping the cause in the public eye.

Chelgate's capabilities in this sector are experience-driven and wide-ranging, from providing essential government relations and public affairs to media relations and issues and crisis management.

At the same time, Chelgate is able to help voluntary bodies clearly articulate their case - whatever their mission - to the most influential public or private audiences. Appropriate to each, techniques will vary from traditional to high-tech, events from large-scale performances to intimate networking.
