Public & Charity Sector
Public sector organisations and charities need to communicate clearly and often carefully with a wide range of audiences.
From service reviews to supporter newsletters, the words you use need to be clearly understood – often by people for whom English is a second or third language – and need to deliver the right results.
I can work with you on a project or ongoing basis to help reduce the burden on your staff members and produce clear, targeted content that helps you reach the right people. Taking the time to understand the focus of your organisation, the nuances and expectations of your stakeholders and the timeframes you need to work to, I provide an extra resource when you need it most.
Having Gill do all the writing required for our new website has ensured professional, coherent pages written for our audience. Not only do we have a website to be proud of, but Gill saved us an immeasurable amount of time. Working with Gill is easy, fun yet she is always very informative and professional.

MINI CASE STUDY:
Providing support for Combat Stress
Combat Stress is the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health. In the last year, I have worked with the charity on the publication of their supporter magazine, writing a significant amount of editorial for the two issues. Involved with editorial planning, carrying out interviews, writing articles, proofreading and getting final approvals, I worked closely with the team to help them produce an informative read that helped to update supporters on the work of the charity and encourage fundraising and support.
"Gill is great to work with. She’s enthusiastic and creative in her approach. She is also very organised – essential when working with multiple stakeholders and a tight timeline. We’ve really enjoyed working with her and hope to do more in the future."
Caroline Allen, Content Manager, Combat Stress.
I work with leaders, marketers and communications departments to help create the messages and content that will resonate with audiences that include service users, funding bodies, volunteers, donors, governance bodies and the wider public.
This helps you to ensure you are sending out professional, clear communications that enhance your reputation and demonstrate your capability.
A refreshing new website for Guildford Nursery School and Children’s Centre
A complete re-vamp of their website meant that Guildford Nursery and Children’s Centre needed a friendlier tone and simpler language across the board. Once the website was live, I worked across the whole team to look at marketing and engagement strategies to help increase applications, raise the profile of vital children’s services work and make the nursery a hub for the community.
