Writing for Charities

My work includes writing case studies, leaflets, annual reports, impact reports and more.

For three years I worked at Independent Age, and interviewed many older people supported by the charity, taking the greatest care when they felt vulnerable or struggled to communicate their message. I played an important role in safeguarding and adhering to the rules of GDPR. I helped with writing, proofreading and editing the charity’s magazine In Touch and its fundraising magazine Support Matters. I wrote blogs, social media and website copy, and contributed to policy documents, fundraising materials, annual reports and annual reviews. I provided stories for the guides produced by the charity on issues from care home fees to coping with loneliness. Six of these won awards from the Plain English Campaign and three won British Medical Association Patient Information Awards. 

For many years I was an associate of the Fairtrade Foundation, helping with writing, interviewing, editing, media and celebrity work.
