Social For The People is run by Helen Reynolds:

“I help organisations to use social media and digital technology to communicate better, save money and have fresh ideas and actions that will lead their organisations through change.

The opportunities are vast and exciting.

Hire me for good advice, a big vision and practical techniques to make amazing things happen.”

Hel and other expert trainers run inspiring workshops and courses: in-house or away-day style sessions, tailor-made for each group of delegates.

We look at good and bad case studies, how to use various tools, and insights and learning on what social media can do for us.

Courses are designed for the unique needs of charities, universities or for those who work in public service: housing associations, social care, local government and not-for-profits.

Popular courses include:
