Marketing & Communications Support for the VCSE Sector
Helping voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations reach more people, raise awareness, and create impact
Voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations do vital work, but with limited time, budget and resources, marketing and communications can often fall to the bottom of the list.
At Let’s Do Marketing, we specialise in providing practical, affordable marketing and communications for charities, community organisations and social enterprises, helping you raise awareness, engage with your audience, and demonstrate your impact.
Whether you’re a small community group, a growing charity or an established social enterprise, we work alongside you to make your message both clear and effective.
Marketing Support Designed for VCSE Organisations
We understand the unique challenges faced by VCSE organisations – from funding pressures and capacity issues to the need to communicate clearly with diverse audiences.
Our support is designed to help you:
Reach the people who need your services
Engage volunteers, funders and partners
Promote events, programmes and campaigns
Strengthen your digital presence
Clearly communicate your impact
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all marketing. Our approach is collaborative and shaped around your mission and values.
Our VCSE Marketing & Communications Services
We provide a range of marketing and communications services tailored to the voluntary and community sector, including:
Communications Strategy & Planning
If you’re not sure where to focus your marketing, or you feel like you’re doing lots of activity without seeing results, we can help you step back and create a clear, realistic plan.
We’ll work with you to understand your goals, audiences and resources, then turn that into a practical communications strategy you can actually use, not something that sits in a drawer. Whether you need a full strategy or just help prioritising what to do next, we’ll meet you where you are.
Email Marketing & Newsletters
Email is still one of the best ways to stay connected with your supporters, partners and community.
We can help you plan, write and design newsletters that people actually want to read. Whether you need help setting up a system, building your mailing list, or creating regular content, we’ll make the process simple and sustainable for your team.
Social Media Support
Social media can be a powerful way to raise awareness, reach your community and show the difference you make, but it can also feel time-consuming and overwhelming.
We can help with everything from planning content and managing accounts to creating posts, graphics and campaigns. We’ll focus on the platforms that make sense for you and help you build a presence that feels authentic and manageable.
Campaign & Event Promotion
If you’re running a campaign, launching a new service or promoting an event, we can help you get the word out to the right people.
From planning messaging and timelines to creating content and promotional materials, we’ll help you maximise reach and engagement, even if you’re working with a small team and limited budget.
Website Content & Support
Your website is often the first place people go to learn about you - whether that’s service users, funders, partners or volunteers.
We can help you improve your website content, structure and user experience so people can quickly understand who you are, what you do and how to get involved. We can also support with ongoing updates, content creation or working alongside your existing web provider.
Training & Workshops
Sometimes you don’t need someone to do the work for you - you just need the confidence and skills to do it in-house.
We deliver practical, jargon-free training designed specifically for VCSE organisations. Sessions can cover social media, content planning, communications strategy, or general marketing skills, and are always tailored to your team’s experience level.
All our services can be delivered as one-off projects or ongoing support, depending on what works best for your organisation.
Experience Supporting the VCSE Sector
We have supported VCSE organisations both directly and through funded programmes, helping improve engagement, reach, and marketing confidence.
As part of our work delivering communications and marketing support under a contract with Herefordshire Council, we worked with voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations to help them improve their digital presence, promote services and engage their audiences more effectively.
Who have we helped?
Hastings and Bexhill Mencap
We partnered with Hastings & Bexhill Mencap, a long-standing local charity supporting adults with learning disabilities and their families, to design and build a modern, user-friendly website that better reflects their services and community role.
Boathouse Theatre Arts
We collaborated with Boathouse Theatre Arts, a Hastings-based performing arts charity supporting children and adults with learning difficulties and autism, to create a vibrant website showcasing workshops, activities, ticket sales and email signups locally.
