An organisation can have deep roots in a community and yet have almost no public presence. Conversely, and organisation can be highly visible online and be barely known in the streets it claims to serve.

Both matter and neither one replaces the other.

But it's an interesting question to ask yourself during Community Month: does your organisation's communications reflect the community you actually work with or a version of it that more effectively raises funds?

What does genuine community-led communications look like to you? Examples welcome.

One in four people in the UK will experience a mental health problem in any given year (Source: Mind, 2023). The demand on mental health services is not easing. Communicating about mental health requires a level of care that goes beyond standard marketing practice. It calls for language which reduces stigma rather than reinforces it. Imagery that humanises experience rather than sensationalises it. Campaigns must encourage the seeking of help without overwhelming already stretched services.

Get it right and you build communities of genuine support, reduce isolation and drive the kind of funding that sustains services in the long-term.

Get it wrong and you risk alienating and stigmatising the very people you're trying to help, driving them away from services at the moment they most need them.

This is territory which requires skill, a nuanced touch and knowledge of ethical frameworks, safe messaging guidelines and platform-specific considerations. It is not a territory where generalist marketing is adequate.

TASK understands the mental health communications landscape. It's one of the reasons we work in this sector and no other.

Are you working in the mental health space and facing communications challenges you find difficult to navigate? We would welcome a conversation.

Third sector and healthcare marketing often faces complexities that commercial marketing never needs to consider. Commercial marketing is built around conversion. You move the prospect through a funnel and then close the transaction. Broadly speaking, the relationship ends there.

Third sector comms are built around something much harder to navigate. You are cultivating long-term relationships with donors, beneficiaries, volunteers, commissioners and funders. Often, simultaneously and often with conflicting emotional needs.

A message that motivates a major donor can feel cold to a service user. Content which works beautifully on Instagram can land badly in a funding application. Language appropriate for a corporate audience can alienate the community you exist to serve.

Navigating this requires sector knowledge, not just marketing skill. This is something you cannot just pick up overnight. It requires immersion in the ethics, sensitivities, language and specific pressures of organisations doing this kind of work.

TASK works exclusively in this space. Not as a side line or as one of a number of sectors we serve. It is our whole business.

There's no drama or announcement. The posts just... stop.
Your followers drift away, your donors stop hearing from you and the algorithm deprioritises your account. Two years of community building unravels within a matter of days.

This happens much more often that anyone in the sector cares to admit. Comms built on goodwill is comms with a structural weakness at its core.

This isn't a criticism of volunteers. It's a criticism of thinking like it's the only option available to you.

Is this a pattern you recognise within your organisation or ones you've worked with?

Volunteers Week genuinely matters. The contribution volunteers make to the third sector (including communications work) is significant. But there is a distinction worth highlighting.

There is a difference between a volunteer who supports a campaign and a volunteer who is the campaign. Between someone who helps with social media and someone who is the only person responsible for it. Between an organisation that involves volunteers in communications and one that has outsourced its entire marketing function to goodwill.

The second model creates a fragility most organisations don't notice until it breaks. A volunteers moves on, a trustees nephew stops posting ... Before you know it, six months worth of audience building disappears with them.

Donor relationships are not built on goodwill alone. They are built on consistent, skilled, strategic communication. The kind that doesn't vanish when life gets in the way.

TASK works with third sector organisations to build communications that remain consistent, regardless of what the volunteer rota looks like.
