Campaigning

Campaigning, in a charity context, can mean many different things to different people. It could be about persuading politicians to adopt a particular policy line or get them to change or pass a law. It may mean representing people's needs to decision-makers and Influencing government officials or institutions. It can be as simple as awareness-raising or as demanding as taking legal action to achieve justice for beneficiaries. This book is a short introduction to that territory in its many different forms, and is for those who have little or no experience of campaigning, who want to understand the key terminology and be inspired to make an impact.
