Heart Unions Week organising checklist
To help you organise and recruit new members during Heart Unions Week, where new joiners will get their first three months free, we have created a new organising checklist.

Look at ways to engage with non-members. This could be:
- An in-person event on a day the most people will be in the workplace.
 - An online event using Zoom or Teams.
 - Supporting members to have joining conversations with non-members
 - All of the above!
 
Share the Join Prospect Linktree digital joining pack: https://linktr.ee/joinprospect and have physical joining packs available in workplaces.
Find ways to gather information on what matters to colleagues in your workplace. This could be by:
- A survey
 - A Thought Exchange (talk to your Organiser about what this is and/or to arrange one)
 - Prize draw – used to gather information on issues
 - Collecting the information at in person events
 
Communicate with members on how these issues will be addressed, either in negotiations or by campaigning. This could be by:
- Newsletter
 - Open meeting
 - Noticeboard (physical or virtual – have a look at our guide on Padlet digital noticeboard
 
At the end of the week contact all your new members welcoming them to the branch or section, perhaps invite them to a new members welcome/meet the committee event?
