Community Building Session: Members Marketing Stories + CTWeek25 Annoucement

Join us for this month’s CTA Community Building Session, where we’ll explore how members are raising awareness of their work in creative and impactful ways. From building relationships with the media to engaging local politicians, this session will highlight real-life examples of marketing that connects with communities and decision-makers alike.

You’ll hear from Glenfarg Community Transport, who’ll share how they gained local press coverage and made the most of that attention through follow-up on social media. We’ll also be joined by Lagan Valley Rural Transport, who’ll talk about the impact of inviting policy makers to see their work in action - and how meaningful these visits can be.

To round off the session, CTA’s Marketing Manager, Jen, will reveal the theme and focus for CT Week 2025, helping you start to plan how your organisation can get involved.

There will be time for Q&A and open discussion, giving you the chance to ask questions, share ideas, and learn from other members across the UK.

CTA Community Building Sessions take place once a month and our goal is to make these sessions engaging, interactive and to foster a sense of community among all of us who are working to improve transport services in our communities.

Come along to the CBS where you're invited to:

• Discuss any issues relating to CT in an open and supportive environment
• Uncover emerging trends such as decarbonisation, climate actions, funding opportunities and more
• Network and build connections with members across regional and national boundaries
• Resolve complex or sensitive queries from members through peer-to-peer learning
• Gather intelligence and ideas from CTOs about what’s happening in the sector to feed into CTA's policy, influencing and campaign work
• Connect with CT Operators across regional/national boundaries
• Provide feedback on how CTA can better support you.

We can't wait to welcome you to our Community Building Session.
