A really fantastic day speaking at the CharityComms Strategic Communicators’ Conference.

It was a privilege to be part of such thoughtful conversations about the role of communications in the charity sector at a time when many organisations are navigating rising demand, financial pressure and increasingly complex issues.

Despite the challenges, it also feels like an important moment. People are looking for organisations they can trust - organisations that can communicate with clarity, integrity and purpose.

Strategic communications plays a huge role in helping charities do that and connecting organisations with the people they serve, shaping understanding of complex issues and helping navigate uncertainty.

Thank you to CharityComms for bringing everyone together 😊

I also really enjoyed supporting the team with their new strategic communicator quiz, which is a great way to reflect on how different comms professionals approach strategy.

International Women’s Day… 👭

A time to celebrate and commemorate. A time for optimism and looking to the future.

But.

Also a day I get a little emotional.

Because…we have such a long way to go and today we should be honest about where we are.

Gender pay gap…the motherhood penalty…the mental load…discrimination in the workplace…inequality at home…sexual harassment or worse assault…crippling childcare costs…the list goes on.

I’m celebrating four years of self-employment this month and I’m proud of myself, but I also still feel like I’m constantly fighting a battle I can’t win.

Work life balance…business boss vs stay at home mum - it’s no mean feat.

We need to do better. We need to do more to close the gap.

Life after maternity…(with two boys 😀)

I've been getting back into the swing of things these last few weeks now Beauden has started nursery and (after taking some maternity leave) I thought I would do a little refresher about myself...

Since 2020 I have worked as a freelance communications consultant having formerly worked both in house and on the agency side. I have 18+ years experience and have worked for leading charities in education, health, criminal justice, social care, community development, heritage and conservation.

I specialise in strategy, media relations, crisis comms, digital communications (inc. social media and websites), copywriting, internal engagement, audits and training.

I have predominantly worked in the education and not-for-profit sectors, but I'm always open to new opportunities and projects!

I currently have some capacity to take on new projects, so please do get in touch if you are looking for support: [email protected]

I’m also always keen to meet likeminded freelancers and expand my network….

Happy weekend all 😊

Here's to 2022!

It's been a really exciting year and I've been lucky enough to work with some really great clients in the education and charity sphere.

Wrapping up now for a (hopefully) restful Christmas break with my family and I’m looking forward to seeing what 2023 holds.

Sure it will be an interesting year, particularly with a new family addition coming in March...

Merry Christmas all 🎄

As we continue working in lockdown, we’ve all learned to adapt, one way or another. Charities in particular are embracing new ways of working and collaborating with others as it’s crucial now more …
