Press Drop Ins
NRTF’s new PR and Media manager Dickie Felton is holding regular drop-ins for members wanting support / help on press and marketing matters.
The 45 minute sessions take place fortnightly on Fridays 9:30am – 10:15am. Need help with marketing your event or tour? Wanting advice on how to publicise your event? Ask Dickie!
Fundraising Clinics
NRTF’s monthly Fundraising Clinic sessions are designed to be a space for members to virtually meet with each other alongside our in-house Fundraising and Project Managers Jo and Amy.
We’ll chat about all things fundraising with a flexible monthly theme to give each session a conversational starting point. It’s a great opportunity to ask advice from our fundraisers and other members who have shared similar experiences – and of course to shout about your upcoming projects!
Environmental Responsibility Forum
Our Environmental Responsibility Forum is an open space to discuss your questions, ideas and projects as they relate to environmental responsibility and sustainability. This is an opportunity to foster shared knowledge and collaboration around climate-conscious touring. Whether you want to learn where to begin, or have experience and insight to share, everyone is welcome!
Scheme Meetings
Lead by Holly, these are meetings for our Scheme members to get together, share progress, queries, concerns and suggestions.
Snowy Social
Before we all get swept away in the festive rush, why not pop in for a cosy catch up with the NRTF team. Festive accessories are welcomed but not required!
