Rotary Community Story Campaign

What could this idea change?

Different community voices enter the public record with consent and context, helping neighbours understand issues and recognise ways to support each other.

Could this work in our club?

• Residents, local storytellers, community organisations, media and people seeking a human introduction to local priorities. Use when the club can commission a series rather than rely on one exceptional testimonial.

Before you start

• An editorial charter covering purpose, inclusion, verification, consent, withdrawal and corrections.
• A contributor brief and compensation or expense policy where substantial labour is requested.
• A secure asset register linking releases, captions, alt text, channels and reuse limits.

At the end: Provide each contributor with the live asset and response summary, check consent after 30 days and record whether the story should remain, change or be retired.
