Hide AdChair of Mid Ulster District Council, Councillor Dominic Molloy, commended the webinar stating, “Assisting the community, voluntary and social enterprise sector in Mid Ulster to promote the invaluable work and services they provide is the overall aim of this event.
"This webinar will provide an opportunity for all to learn the best way to stand out from the crowd and shine online through the use of social media. I would encourage all Mid Ulster groups and organisations to ‘get social’ and take advantage of this fantastic and informative free event.”
Daryl from Digital Performance Lab, commented: “59% of the world’s population actively use social media for an average of 2 hours 29 minutes per day, with 227 million new users coming online in the past 12 months. This presents endless opportunities for organisations to reach and engage new supporters, volunteers, customers, advocates and much more.”
Enda Daly, Programme Manager, added, “Social enterprises, charities and community/voluntary groups need to understand the importance of getting their voice out there and what better way to do that than via social media. They need to embrace it and be comfortable with it in order to market and promote their activities, encourage more volunteers and enhance community involvement”.
