First 100 days of Government: What should non-profits be doing?

  • Campaigning
  • Strategy

As our new Labour government takes office, you’ll no doubt have heard voices in the sector saying how important it is to adapt your strategies to have the greatest possible impact in the first 100 days.

Do the first 100 days really matter? It’s a slightly arbitrary timeframe, but it’s how the media, and in turn your supporters, will measure how a government is doing in their ‘probation’. What that means is that in this honeymoon phase of a government, new MPs and cabinet are especially receptive to campaigning and public pressure!

To help you harness this opportunity, we’ve put together some tips and guides for key actions you should be taking, including:

  • Positioning you and your team as trusted experts for the government to listen to
  • Shaping your narratives to align with the government’s priorities
  • Using this moment to expand public support and fundraising efforts
