It is still early days for Twitter as a fundraising tool and we don't pretend to grasp it all.

Join us at the The Hub for live demonstrations of Twitter in action.
Bring your own laptop if you want and get online using the venue's
wi-fi system. Laptops not required of course - just curiosity about
whether Twitter can work for your organisation.
NB. Ticket prices are £65 + VAT, and £150 + VAT. The VAT will be included when you pay on Paypal.

"Having decided that the NCPTA needed to utilise digital media
to the full, we went onto open a Twitter account. The question was,
what do we do next? The Fundraising with Twitter course, was a fast and
furious two hours, packed with practical hints and tips, to guide you
through the maze of things to consider. I came away more enlightened,
with a clear idea of how to take our communication with our supporters
to another level".
