Take a look at the range of services I offer, or if you’re not sure what you need just get in touch.
I can help you in three main areas:
1. Comms Support
No comms staff? No problem!
I offer flexible support when an in-house communications role isn’t feasible. Whether you’re looking for assistance on a long-term basis or need help with a specific project such as a new website, I bring specialist knowledge and adaptability to meet your needs. Let me be your spare pair of hands!
2. Consultancy
I can develop a clear, compelling and effective communications strategy to deliver your objectives. I’ll involve your senior team and trustees through interactive workshops to clearly define your priorities, and leave you with an action plan.
I can also carry out an audit of your existing digital channels and give feedback. I’ll identify any gaps or weaknesses and focus on priority areas for improvement.
3. Mentoring and Training
Are you working in charity communications and looking for personalised support? I’ll work with you to sharpen your skills, improve your strategy, and ensure your organisation’s voice is clear and impactful through mentoring.

I also deliver training in a wide range of courses through workshops on using Canva, email newsletters, digital marketing trends and social media strategies, all tailored to enhance your communications efforts.

Mentoring
Are you working in charity communications and looking for tailored support? I offer one-to-one mentoring designed to help you tackle the unique challenges of the sector.
With over 20 years’ experience, I’ll work with you to sharpen your skills, improve your strategies, and ensure your organisation’s voice is clear and impactful. You might work for a charity or be freelance like myself and want some extra support and advice in an ever changing digital world.
Here’s what a current mentee of mine has to say about the service:
“Having Carrie as a communications mentor is an arrangement that works really well for us as a small, not-for-profit company. And one I’d definitely recommend to anyone who is willing to forge an ongoing working relationship.
We’ve been having informal monthly conversations for 2 years now. And they are always a pleasure, always easy-going and always rewarding. Looking back on our time together, here’s a list of some of the main benefits…
We spend a fair amount of time bouncing ideas around. So there’s lots to reflect on after each session. I come away from our conversations with options, choices and alternative approaches, which is great, especially if I’m a bit stuck or a bit rigid/binary in my thinking. Carrie is great at freely sharing her knowledge, experiences and her opinions. The continuity is also really important. She helps to maintain focus. When we talk it feels like she’s a part of the team; that she’s invested in our aims and how best to communicate our message.
Thanks Carrie – much appreciated. And here’s to more years of mentoring.”

Pricing and packages
The cost is £120 a month. This will give:
- 1 hour one-to-one mentoring session
- Email support in between sessions
- Personalised, practical advice tailored to your needs
One to ones are held over Zoom or Teams, or we can meet in person in central Newcastle or North Tyneside. If further away we can discuss a suitable location.
As charities often have budget constraints I can offer flexibility, such as a sliding scale for smaller organisations, or discounted packages on 5 or 10 session bundles.
