No great personal expertise, but I have found a lot of stuff online through http://www.helppassiton.co.uk/ Here they are talking more about helping a friend, but I think that one of the best tips is to find out something someone is interested in and use that. E.g if they support a football club, go to the club's website and places like BBC Sport's football pages. I.e make it relevant to peoples own experience.
