Sending out a press release

Doing something in your local area to make a difference?

Let the world know about it.

Get the local media to cover what you are doing. It's a great way of spreading the word and you can encourage more people to get involved.

Here are a few ways to contact the local newspapers, radio or TV:

• write a letter to the local media contact - details can often be found online
• offer to give an interview
• send out a press release
• invite them to film or take pictures at your event.
