Were you ready for Rishi’s announcement about July’s election? Or were you caught in the rain without an umbrella?
Here at Agenda we were prepared - we have been helping organisations create manifestos that represent members’ and supporters’ needs and we’ve used our Comms Lab approach to craft persuasive narratives.
Here’s what else we’ve done in May
Changing hearts and minds
We've been busy finalising our one-day event ‘Changing hearts and minds’ You can see the stellar line up and save a spot for 12 June below.
Shaping education
Election, election, election! What does the future hold for education? We’re working with @NASUWT on defining and promoting its offer to teachers across the UK.
EU Elections
Becky has been discussing the EU elections with contacts in Brussels, focusing on the expected rise of the far right. We’ve been thinking about the role of comms in helping address this threat and will have some useful resources to share over coming weeks.
Promoting manifestos
The NHS needs more radiographers if the new government wants to reduce waiting lists according to Society of Radiographers manifesto. Matt Ball and Adi Bloom are helping members make the case for investment.
