2387 - Self Help Nottingham - Marketing Strategy

Nottingham

Self Help Nottingham is a unique charity providing support and development opportunities for self help groups and their members in Greater Nottingham. Their services include an Information enquiry service about local and national self help groups and networks, and the annual Directory of Self Help Support Groups, which lists established groups in Greater Nottingham, as well as local, regional and national contacts and resources for individuals living with a range of conditions and their carers. This Directory is used as a valuable referral tool by GP’s and NHS Services in the Nottingham area. Self Help Nottingham also offers training and development support for groups, a range of open workshops and networking opportunities and they work with individual groups in response to their particular needs. They provide Service User and Carer Involvement work at strategic and operational levels with local NHS organisations and in partnership with the University Of Nottingham School Of Nursing.

They have reached an interesting stage in their organisational development, having recently received a three year research and development fund and sponsorship for replication of their services in the West Midlands. They are looking to take a number of new products to market, including establishing and selling the Directory on a national scale, and are working towards becoming a Social Enterprise with a national trading arm. They are currently looking for Business Champion support in creating a marketing strategy that will allow them to continue to expand and make their services and products known to a wider audience, as such they would like to hear from Business Champions with a background in marketing. The time commitment is flexible, and the aims may be met within a single meeting.
