Free video training workshops for your charity

The Saltways specialise in training nonprofit teams to create authentic video content using just their phones. They focus heavily on ethical storytelling - particularly important when working with vulnerable communities - and provide practical skills that work within tight budgets and busy schedules.

They have recently updated their free monthly video training workshops specifically designed for charities throughout 2026. These sessions are practical, interactive, and regularly attract 200-300 charity professionals live, with many more accessing the recordings afterwards.

Their 2026 workshop topics include how to use video to nurture major donor relationships, getting started with legacy and in-memory programmes, an AI-generated imagery ethics panel discussion, creating effective video content using your phone, content beyond case studies for nurturing regular giver relationships, authenticity in charity storytelling, and TikTok and Reels for non-profits.

All sessions feature industry experts who understand the charity sector, including guest speakers from Royal Free Charity, Octopus Legacy, and Legacy Futures.

The February cohort includes their 'Getting Started with Legacy and In Memory Campaigns' bundle featuring five expert videos from Octopus Legacy, Legacy Futures, and Prospecting for Gold, plus a free downloadable Q&A video about leaving gifts in wills that members can use in their communications.

Community Studio provides monthly training, live creative brainstorming sessions, templates, and a supportive community of charity professionals. Investment is £250 for twelve months, with only 50 places available.
