Communicate effectively with members and your community

You should have a clear message and ethos. This helps to attract members and create a welcoming environment.

Effective communication helps reach new people. It allows you to build relationships and be an attractive vision for potential funders.

We are here to help!

Glasgow Life - Sport have a team of development officers dedicated to helping community organisations.

Our officers will support your club on a range of topics to help you operate more effectively.

We have included some areas to think of below and would encourage you to complete our free health check and we will be in touch.

  • Who are you trying to reach?
  • What do you want to say and is it clear?
  • What makes your club unique and have you explained this?
  • What are you promoting, is there a clear instruction to follow?
  • What is the best method to use to reach the audience in question?

Before rushing in, spend some time planning your communication campaign. Think about who you want to reach and what you want to say.

We will work with you to plan your club's promotional activity. Whether it is for community events, building local partnerships or social media campaigns. We can also help make your promotional material stand out and give the best impression of your club.

It is important to keep your members and volunteers up to date. And a successful club will know the best methods to keep in touch.

We can help you develop a club handbook. This will welcome new people and keep existing members up to date with the latest news.

Finding the right social media can make your clubs communication easy to manage. It is also an effective way to contact a wide range of people.

Social media can help:

  • Tell people about sessions and opportunities
  • Keep people up to date with the latest news
  • Help members get to know each other, creating a friendly atmosphere
  • Link to funders and sponsorship
  • Tell your clubs story
