The leafle Normally, i'd kick off the tour with a photo of me holding up the leaflet at one of the stops, but unfortunately I haven't been able to make it through to the city for a while. I miss it loads, and i'm sure some of you do too. So hopefully this tour helps a little with that.

Hi, I'm @AnabelMarsh, one of GWL's Women's History tour guides.

"We want to subtitle our social media content but it's too time consuming and we can't afford to do it."

Does that sound familiar?

Well we're here to bust those myths wide open! Let's embark on a learning journey together in this subtitling thread...

We hope you find this helpful and that it encourages more people and organisations to subtitle their content.
