And we\u2019re sure that at some point we\u2019ve been affected by a story told to us in a range of mediums (We\u2019re inclined to think that everyone has also spent 6 hours crying through channel 4s It\u2019s A Sin).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being impacted by someone else&#8217;s story ignites something in us to get up and do something. It could be learning more about a topic, or thinking about a topic in a different light. What organisations can do is share their stories- to drive volunteers into action and reach larger audiences\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b>What is impact storytelling and why should you use it? <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might be wondering what exactly impact storytelling is. It\u2019s sort of completely covered in the name- storytelling that impacts someone sees it. Impact storytelling can be posters, videos, a blog, anything that gets your impact out there. It\u2019s important because it can be one of the most valuable sources of communication an organisation can use- no matter who it is you\u2019re trying to reach. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organisations should be using this to connect with their potential audience (or potential volunteers). Let them know how your organisation helps others- show the difference you make! You want people to become invested and interested in your organisation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By connecting with people\u2019s emotions, you can inspire them to get up and help make a difference where they can. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b>Best practices\u2026 <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you look to start creating an impact story, you must first get to know your audience. Or the audience you\u2019re targeting. What are the main motivations for those coming to you to volunteer? Or get involved in a particular way? Are there any interests that stick out amongst your audience you could latch onto and highlight? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing your audience as best you can, really helps when planning your impact story. Therefore, you\u2019ll be using the appropriate actions\/communications to reach your target audience\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you know how you&#8217;re going to put your story out there- it\u2019s time to find the story to go with. Build up relationships with colleagues, volunteers or even those who your organisation helps. You might find that sharing real stories will give more of an impact to your audience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to ask those involved in your story if they are okay with sharing it, and if they wouldn\u2019t like their name involved- anonymise it as appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stories you share should be focused on your organisation, and the impact that you make. Show the depth of your organisation- you want your impact storytelling to touch everything that your organisation does\u2026&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>On one final note&#8230;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a final note, make sure to evaluate your impact. What do you think could be changed in your approach to have a better response to your impact storytelling? By evaluating you can see what did work, and what might not have been effective. Evaluation is key. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hopefully we\u2019ve been able to help you get started on your impact storytelling journey, or at least got your brain following for ideas! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":8995,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[130,184],"tags":[485,486,539,401,523,524,488,489,335,490,555,556,554,465,85,470,92,96,161,231,178,171],"class_list":["post-8994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","category-volunteer-management","tag-charity-retail-volunteering","tag-digital-volunteer-management","tag-embracing","tag-fundraising","tag-hospice","tag-hospice-volunteers","tag-micro","tag-microvolunteer","tag-microvolunteering","tag-microvolunteers","tag-stories","tag-story","tag-storytelling","tag-team-kinetic","tag-teamkinetic","tag-teamkinetic-volunteer","tag-volunteer","tag-volunteer-management","tag-volunteer-management-software","tag-volunteer-management-software-uk","tag-volunteer-management-system","tag-volunteer-roles"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.10 -
