Media spokesperson

Once trained, you'll help to raise awareness about our work and marine conservation issues by acting as a media spokesperson in your local area.

You’ll be talking about our work and activities, including our flagship Great British Beach Clean event – this could be by speaking on your local radio, on camera for TV pieces or to the local press.

• Opportunities will be arranged by our Media & Communications Team who will help to brief you ahead of any activities. You’ll be provided with a key messages document and have the opportunity to ask questions.
• You'll represent the Marine Conservation Society's values, and will receive training to help you embody our brand.

Here are the resources that can help you to get started. You may find some more relevant to your skills and experience than others, but please take a look through them all. You can revisit these at any time, so don’t worry about taking in everything at once!

This training will take you to an external site called 'EdApp', where you’ll need to register to access the information. You’ll be taken through the following:

• Required: This is the Marine Conservation Society: our brand (10 mins)
• Optional: Speaking with confidence (10 mins)
• Optional: Running meetings & talks online using Zoom (10 mins)

You need to be registered as a Sea Champion to sign up as a Media Spokesperson.

• Once registered and logged in, please use this form to confirm you've looked through the training above.
• We will email you to share some information about the next steps.
