Publicity
South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue will work with each funded partner on a press release to publicise the funding award. This usually involves arranging a cheque presentation photo, including representatives from SYFR, SYFire Authority and the funded partner.
We are happy for projects to publicise their activity, however any publicity should be checked by SYFRs communication team before it is sent out to the media. Any printed materials, videos or other resources produced as part of your project MUST be approved by the SSCR Coordinator. This is to ensure SYFRs corporate identity is protected for example that the most up to date version of logos are used.
A specific requirement of grant funding is that recipients acknowledge the support of South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority.
Tell us how you plan to publicise your project. Please include:
· How you plan to distribute and promote resources your project produces
· If you plan to use social media which platforms do you intend to use and how
