New Mentoring service for Charity Communications Professionals! Jump to mentoring offer
Strategy
I can develop a clear, compelling and effective communications strategy to deliver your business objectives. I’ll involve your senior team and trustees through interactive workshops to clearly define your priorities, and leave you with an action plan.
Digital review
Do you want to gain the benefits of digital but don’t know where to begin? I can audit your current use of digital channels, such as e-bulletins, social media, blogs, videos and use of apps. I can then work with you to identify any gaps or weaknesses and focus on priority areas for improvement.
Website management and development
Need a new website but don’t know where to start? Want someone to give your website an overhaul? Let me help you with over 20 years experience in managing websites. I can write a brief capturing your needs, put it out to tender, help interview potential agencies and generally hold your hand through the whole process. Or, if you don’t have time to update your website, leave it to me to keep it fresh.
Email marketing
From one-off emails to regular newsletters, I’ll design templates and help you create engaging content to reach and interest your organisation’s target audience.
Social media
Are you using social media effectively? Let me review your aims and content, then develop a simple social media strategy. I can train staff in creating compelling content people will want to share.
Extra support
Don’t have the resource for an in-house comms officer? Need some help NOW? Let me be your spare pair of hands!

Mentoring for Charity Communications Professionals
Are you working in charity communications and looking for tailored support? I’m offering 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 mentor 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
A one hour mentoring session is £120, with email support in between sessions.
This is carried out over Zoom or Teams, or we can meet in person in central Newcastle or North Tyneside. If further afield we can arrange 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.
So if you’re ready to enhance your communications and grow your confidence, let’s have a chat!
