Communicating with your Group

To be successful, you need great lines of communication with your group and supporters.

You should also have a set of comms channels appropriate for different audiences. This will vary from group to group, but the following is typical:

• An email account, for receiving emails
• An email list, for one-way comms with your group and supporters.
• A messaging app for two-way comms with other organisers, e.g. Mattermost or Signal
• A messaging app for one-way ("broadcast") comms with all the members of your group (appropriate for larger groups)
• You might use the events feature of Facebook to communicate upcoming events
• Documents, for sharing detailed information
