Tips for your local group news page

This page contains tips for local group web editors who wish to include news stories on a separate news web page.

Length of news items

Keep your news items as concise as possible. A maximum of 100 words will be enough for most items.

Make sure all items relate to recent news, preferably from within the last 2 months. Include a date reference within the news story.
Remove older news items to keep the page looking up to date and relevant.
Stick to your events page for details of forthcoming events, unless there's obvious scope for a wider news story, eg it's an annual event you want to publicise wider or recruit volunteers for.
News items about some of your past events can give new visitors to your web pages an idea of your activities. You should not include a detailed account of each meeting though.

For all other enquiries about your branch and support group please contact the branch and volunteer support officer in your regional or country team.
