A Training Kit on Marketing Voluntary Projects
Voluntary charitable work needs to be publicised, along with its centres, meaning the associations, organisations and bodies that carry it out, so that it becomes known far and wide. One comes to know its origins and development, the programmes it offers, how to access them, and how to obtain its services. In this way, media coverage paves the way for it to gain greater support and backing from the public, and it becomes fully known to those who wish to volunteer in its activities or to donate to it. At the same time, those who need its services are able to find it.
