Freelance charity copywriter with in-house charity experience
In-house hands-on fundraising experience
I've been on the front line across most forms of fundraising. And it's made me a better fundraising copywriter. My first-hand donor insight spans every type and segment. That means a deeper understanding of what it takes to create successful donor communications.
Strategic income generation + communications
Years spent developing fundraising strategies means I bring an in-depth, practical understanding of multi-faceted, integrated income generation. So you can be certain your communications will complement and strengthen your overall proposition.
10+ years as a charity copywriter
I've shaped concepts, written cases for support and delivered direct mail campaigns to raise £10m+ for life changing projects. So you can have confidence in my charity copywriting.
Helping you do more
You’ve got a million things to do, everything is a priority and your work is super-important.
As a charity copywriter, I put myself in your shoes. Because giving you the right support to do the best job possible means you make a bigger difference (and it makes your life a little easier too).
Over a decade immersed in charity life has given me an appreciation and deep understanding of charities, your challenges and where opportunities might lie.
I approached Jenny for help with developing a concept for our 2022 Bursary Appeal and developing the communications. Concept agreed, Jenny crafted coherent messages and created a tone for the campaign stories relevant to the reader. The result was a set of campaign communications which spoke perfectly to our multiple audiences.
Working with Jenny was seamless and easy. She was especially good at deciphering my sometimes less-than-coherent direction while staying focused on the end goal.
The plan is to use Jenny for more of our projects over the coming years. So although I fully recommend her, I also want to keep her a secret, so she has the capacity to keep working with us! .

Direct mail
Cash appeals | Regular giving asks | Donor stewardship | DM packs
Knowing your donors and understanding your prospects, intelligently segmenting your database and personalising the ask set you up for success. Bringing everything together with a well structured and emotive appeal letter that follows best practice will move you one step closer to your fundraising or acquisition target.
Direct mail is still alive and kicking. But with so many other worthy causes asking for support too, only the best of the best make the cut when it comes to supporters choosing your charity. And it’s what I do best.
Campaign brochures
Bring the problem to life – share the devastation, danger or unnecessary suffering. Show people the solution and explain why your charity is best placed to deliver it. Be clear about how they can help make things better, then make it easy for them to take action.
Your charity campaign or appeal brochure is a mini case for support. Every well considered point must evidence the need, and each word needs to create a connection between the reader and your cause. I can help.

Impact reports and annual reviews
Showcasing the difference your charity makes is just the beginning. Impact reports build trust and belief. Annual reviews demonstrate your expertise and commitment to deliver. And they reassure the reader you spend wisely and invest with care.
I can help you pack them with personality and steer clear of dry corporate communications.
Supporter care
Outstanding supporter care keeps relationships alive. Every contact is an opportunity to bring them closer, so it shouldn’t be left to chance.
The welcome email, thank you letter, project update, well-timed ask and more can spur supporters on or turn them off. And the little things make life easier for them – like a fundraising toolkit packed with hints, tips and practical advice. Let me help.
Newsletters
Your donors are the lifeblood of your charity. They’re committed, caring and generous people who saw a need and gave their support. Your newsletter is a chance to tell them how much they mean to you. I can help you show them the life they saved, the shelter they gave or the meal they provided.
By doing it well and doing it as often as they’d like to hear from you, you’ll be friends for life. Need an extra pair of hands?
"Jenny is wonderful to work with – she makes the process incredibly easy and smooth. I was so grateful at a time when I was working across many other projects, to know this was very much in hand. She immediately understood the charity, so the quality of work that came back was great from the beginning.
