Why a club might use this

Shows current service activity in an approachable format while making access information and ways to help easy to find.

Use it when

  • Mobile-first local audiences, younger adult volunteers, project supporters and event attendees using Instagram. Use when a project has a safe sequence of moments that can be explained across several frames.

Before the club starts

  • A frame-by-frame plan with verified facts, permissions, alt text or spoken description and one action.
  • Secure account access, response roster, moderation rules and a process for risky direct messages.
  • Approved visual assets with location, child-safe, partner-brand and expiry controls.

Controls and safeguards

  • Temporary presentation does not reduce consent, retention or correction obligations; retain the approved release record.
  • Disable or restrict location sharing and never reveal a child's routine, a private home or a sensitive service site.
  • High — rapid reshares, direct messages and location clues can spread harm before a temporary story expires.

What to measure

  • Complete approved story sequences published

Follow-up: Move personal questions to the authorised channel, save only approved highlights, close expired links and document what caused viewers to continue or leave.

Before your club says yes

Does the idea fit?

Talk with the people it is meant to serve and check that the need is real.

Who can say yes?

Name the person or group that can approve the work, spending and any safety arrangements.

Are people protected?

Check privacy, consent and safety. Collect only the information you genuinely need.

Can everyone take part?

Check the language, format, place, technology and cost for barriers.

Are the facts and permissions right?

Check names, claims, images, quotations, partner references and Rotary branding.

How will we learn?

Note where things stand now, check in at 30, 60 and 90 days, and decide what to do next.
