Could this work in our club?
- Community members, partners, supporters, volunteers and media who discover local impact through digital channels. Use when a project has verified change and contributors who genuinely want to tell part of the story.
Before you start
- A story evidence pack separating participant experience, measured results, partner roles and limitations.
- Granular consent for identity, media, quotation, channels, duration, editing and withdrawal.
- An accessible production and asset-management workflow with source, rights, alt text, captions and review date.
At the end: Send contributors every live format, check consent and representation after 30 days and retire or update distributed versions when the source record changes.
