thebestof Eastbourne Local Guide gives community organisations a free place to tell local people what you do, what's happening and how they can get involved.
Since David Ruddle took over thebestof Eastbourne in 2011, supporting the organisations that make our communities better places to live has been an important part of the platform alongside promoting great local businesses.
And the relationship is very simple:
You have useful local information. We have a local audience that wants to know about it.
Getting started doesn't need to be complicated.
We'll create your initial Local Guide page for you. You don't need to write marketing copy, prepare an information pack or work out how to build the page yourself.
All you need to do is create a free thebestof Eastbourne account so we can connect your organisation to you.

Once your page is ready, you can start making it useful.
Once you're listed in the Community Guide, you can use thebestof Eastbourne to share your events, news and updates with local people.
We've put together a practical guide to Free Promotion for Charities in Eastbourne, including how to add events and blog posts, plus our step-by-step training videos to help you get started.

Your free listing isn't intended to be something you create once and forget about.

You control the information you publish, so when you've got something new to share, you don't need to wait for us to do it for you.
Local organisations are already using the platform to build their presence and keep people informed.
Polegate Community Association told us after one of our workshops:
“My head is buzzing with ideas about how we can make better use of The Best of Eastbourne platform to promote and raise awareness of the Community Association and its activities.”
They also told us the session left them “far more confident in using the platform effectively.”
Eastbourne Pride said:
“Best of Eastbourne has been incredibly helpful and supportive as Eastbourne Pride navigates establishing ourselves as a new charity and building new relationships across the town.”
And Chris D from Children with Cancer Fund said:
“We at Children with Cancer Fund would not be where we are without you.”
We'll help you get started.
We occasionally run free workshops at Foundry showing community organisations how to use thebestof Eastbourne, add their content and make more of their online presence.
If you'd like to attend a future session, let David know and we'll add you to the waiting list for the next workshop.
Start by registering for your free thebestof Eastbourne account.
Then contact David at thebestof Eastbourne. We'll create your initial Local Guide page and connect it to your account.
We'll get you started. You keep your community informed.
