Ready Set Go – Social Media Guidance for Charites
Member resource - 26 June 2026

Researched and written by Third Sector Lab for OSCR, this guide is aimed at staff, volunteers and trustees of charities who want to use social media with confidence — focusing on real-world outcomes, safe practice, and approaches that small teams can actually keep up.
Charities and community organisationteams are stretched. Social media is rarely anyone’s only job – most of us are also running services, raising funds, recruiting volunteers, and reporting to trustees. This guide is written for that reality.
