Empowering charities, non-profits and communities to tell their own stories
We give you the confidence and skills to share your stories in a way that feels authentic and fits your resources
How we can work together
Whether you have a small team, a tight budget or just not enough hours in the day, we make your communications manageable.
​
Sharing our skills and experience of 25 years in journalism - as communicators and audience development specialists - we can help you grow and connect with your audience via your website, mailing list, on social media and through PR. ​We also run projects that take community journalism outside traditional media settings, working with groups to record and share their histories, memories, opinions and ideas.

Strategy
Plan it with us
We help you take a step back, look at who you need to reach and build a simple roadmap.
​
Website review: We look at your website through your visitors' eyes to make sure it's warm, welcoming and easy for them to find what they need.
​
Content & social media plans: We map out what to say and where to say it, so you aren't wasting time on platforms that won’t get results.
​
Mailing lists: We help you build a loyal, active email list and plan newsletters your community looks forward to opening and reading.
Training
Learn to do it yourself
Build your confidence and save on ongoing costs with our friendly, hands-on workshops that give you tools you can use right away.
Book on to one of our bootcamps or training sessions, or have a chat with us about running bespoke training for your organisation.
​
We cover: Mailing lists, social media, websites, analytics, video creation, fundraising & grant-ready communications.
PR & comms support
We do it for you
When you have a big moment coming up or need consistent, professional comms but don’t have the capacity to do it, we step in as an extension of your team to do the heavy lifting.
​
PR & media outreach: We write clear press releases, put together press packs and pitch your stories directly to media. As journalists ourselves, we know who to pitch to and when.
​
Newsletter & content writing: We write and design your regular newsletters and website content, crafting stories that keep your supporters, funders and community deeply connected to your work.
​
Social media management: We take the daily pressure off your staff by planning, creating and scheduling your social media posts to keep your channels active and welcoming.
​
Respectful storytelling: We know your stories involve real people and communities. We always handle your interviews and case studies with care, safety and respect.
Projects
​We also run projects that take journalism outside traditional media settings and into communities, working with groups to record and share their histories, memories, opinions and ideas.

Laura provided a really useful intro to newsletter strategy that was valuable to all those who attended, no matter where they were in their newsletter journey. I know our team got a lot from it and have already adapted our newsletter formats as a result
