1 Assess your needs and goals

Before you launch your outreach campaign, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and what you need to do it. Start by defining your SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) objectives and your key messages. Then, identify your target audience and the best ways to reach them. For example, do you need to use online platforms, print materials, events, or word-of-mouth? Based on your needs and goals, you can estimate the amount and type of resources you will need for your campaign.

2 Budget wisely and transparently

One of the most important resources for your outreach campaign is money. You need to create a realistic and detailed budget that covers all the expenses of your campaign, such as staff salaries, travel costs, printing costs, venue fees, and so on. You also need to track your income and expenses regularly and report them to your donors, partners, and stakeholders. This will help you avoid overspending, underfunding, or misusing your funds. It will also help you build trust and credibility with your supporters and beneficiaries.

3 Manage your time and tasks

Another crucial resource for your outreach campaign is time. You need to plan your activities and deadlines ahead of time and assign roles and responsibilities to your team members. You also need to monitor your progress and adjust your plans as needed. To manage your time and tasks effectively, you can use tools such as calendars, schedules, checklists, or project management software. These tools will help you organize your work, prioritize your tasks, communicate with your team, and meet your deadlines.

I learnt so much more from my mistakes than successes. A prime example was 'making best use of your time' I spent two weeks, planning to apply for a large national grant. Holding meeting with high-level stakeholders to gather evidence to support my organisations funding bid. After two more days of prep, I found out I was turned down on a factor I could have found out before applying. That reason was-as I worked for an organisation that had sites all over the UK. Another bid was accepted within an 80 miles radius within the 12 month T&Cs period. Adding in reading & understanding the T&Cs as a requirement before looking at accessing funding bids, is now part of the process.

4 Train and motivate your staff and volunteers

Your staff and volunteers are the backbone of your outreach campaign. They are the ones who deliver your messages, interact with your audience, and represent your cause. Therefore, you need to invest in their training and motivation. You need to provide them with the necessary skills, knowledge, and tools to perform their roles. You also need to recognize their efforts, reward their achievements, and address their challenges. By training and motivating your staff and volunteers, you will increase their productivity, quality, and satisfaction.

Finding each member of staff and volunteer's 'why'. It still seems to be frowned upon, if a staff member is doing the role mainly for money. Or a volunteer is doing it to enhance their CV. Knowing this can further enchance the (excuse the pun) buy-in from them. Training and motivation is at a high level and consistent when you understand each persons intrinsic motivation.

5 Evaluate and improve your impact

The final step of allocating resources effectively for your outreach campaign is to evaluate and improve your impact. You need to measure the results of your campaign against your objectives and indicators. You also need to collect feedback from your audience, partners, and stakeholders. This will help you assess the strengths and weaknesses of your campaign, identify the lessons learned, and make recommendations for improvement. By evaluating and improving your impact, you will demonstrate your accountability, credibility, and value.

I have found when it comes to evaluation of outcomes, it can be very beneficial to debrief with not only members of the community but also other organisations who where stakeholders on the project. Through experience, it is easy to miss the additonal social value from outreach/events. Where many people, would not have accessed other support services or programmes had you not set-up your event/outreach.
