Media and publicity

To create real and lasting change in Somerset, we need to share the stories behind our work – the challenges communities face, and the incredible organisations responding to them.

We welcome opportunities to work with journalists, partners and grantees to help tell those stories.

Media enquiries

Are you a journalist or media professional working on a story about communities in Somerset?

We work closely with grassroots organisations across the county and can provide:

  • Insight into local challenges and emerging needs.
  • Case studies and impact stories.
  • Data and funding expertise.
  • Interviews with our CEO, Trustees or team.
  • Connections to funded organisations (where appropriate).

We aim to respond to all media enquiries within one working day.
