I am delighted to invite Edinburgh South businesses and charities to attend a discussion and training session that I am running with Google on the 13^th of September.

I want to hear from you about how your organisation has adapted during the pandemic and as we begin to unlock, and about what further support you need not only to operate, but to grow and be part of the UK economic recovery.

All across the UK, businesses and charities are adjusting – and making sure your organisation can too is more important than ever. That is why we’ll be joined in this session by one of the Google Digital Garage trainers to share some tips and tricks on how you can improve your digital marketing strategy, and answer any questions you may have about the free training and one-to-one mentoring that they are offering for small businesses and charities.

To make the training session as useful as possible for you, the roundtable and webinar will be interactive, allowing you to pose questions to me and the Google Digital Garage trainer, as well as taking part in polls to share thoughts on your experiences. I’m looking forward to hearing from you during the session and really hope you can join us.

Date: Monday 13^th September

Time: 2 – 3pm

How: Visit the registration page at https://events.withgoogle.com/edinburgh-south-digital-garage/registrations/new/

Who: Small businesses and charities in the Edinburgh South area

Please register in advance of the event to reserve your spot. The Google team will follow up with additional details.

If you are unable to join this session, Google Digital Garage also runs a series of free live webinars, running Monday to Friday (you can see the schedule here). You can also browse through Google’s free online courses, with modules that focus on topics such as graphic design and effective social media techniques, allowing you to learn at your pace.

If you have any questions, please do get in touch with me and my office and let us know if there is anything else we can help with. Please also feel free to share this with any other local small businesses and charities that you feel would benefit from joining the session.

I do hope these measures can be of use to you and your colleagues, and hope to see you on the call.
