Resources for campaigners
National Occupational Standards don’t describe how you should run a campaign.
Instead they set out what you need to do and the things you need to know and understand. Other voluntary sector organisations provide guides on how you can run a successful campaign.
The following publications, websites and courses provide advice to campaigners in charities, social enterprises, community and voluntary organisations on how to run a successful campaign. If you have suggestions for other resources we should publish on this page contact our website editor.
