3SocialTrafford's volunteer surgeons offer FREE advice and information to local voluntary and community groups, social enterprises and charities.

You'll get practical hands-on advice for putting social technology into action for you or your cause, to help you reach a wider audience and promote the good work you do or communicate with your group, supporters, and colleagues.

Get started sharing your group's stories and aims, through blogging, form a community around a Facebook group, or reach out and engage new supporters and service users through Twitter and many other social web tools. Surgery volunteers will be on-hand with suggestions on how to effectively use social media to promote an important cause or just use the tools for your and the communities benefit.

If you are interested in coming to the surgery please use the button above to book your place so we know roughly how many people to expect.

If you are interested in helping at the surgery and giving advice, please reserve a place in the same way. Someone from the surgery will be in touch with you.
