VAMU would like to take this opportunity to thank all the charities and media outlets who kindly gave their permission for their campaigns and media coverage to be featured on this site. Without their help and support this website would not have been possible.
VAMU have also produced Clever Communications - a free book for charities who want to know more about working with the media. It's packed with articles by journalists, programme makers and charity insiders. This VAMU book includes the Clever Communications Directory, listing hundreds of media contacts and useful resources for charity communicators. To be sent a free copy of the book email your name and address to book@vamu.org.uk
