Charity copywriting

In cash-strapped times, convincing people to donate or fundraise is tough. That’s when your marketing needs to work harder than ever.

As an experienced charity copywriter, I can help you with powerful words that inspire fundraisers, donors and volunteers to get involved.

Copy that connects with your readers

I specialise in helping charities bring their work to a wider audience.

Armed with more than 10 years’ experience as a charity copywriter, I can help with everything from compelling case studies to email marketing campaigns and eye-catching headlines. 

I’ve collaborated with charities large and small, including Help for HeroesHope and Homes for Children, Salisbury Hospice Charity and many smaller causes. So, when you work with me, your charity’s voice will be in safe hands.

Your story, told the right way

Did you know people are 22 times more likely to remember a fact when it’s told through a story? That’s the power of storytelling – and it’s at the heart of every successful charity campaign.

Whether you’re raising awareness for an overlooked issue or sharing someone’s personal journey, I’ll craft your content with empathy, care, and purpose. This will help shine a light on your cause, inspire readers to donate and fundraise, and spread your message far and wide. 

Whether it’s case studies, website copy, or social media posts, I’ll help bring your cause to life with stories and messages that connect—and leave a lasting impression on your audience.

Emails that stop the scroll

Getting eyeballs on your emails can be hard. Each email is fighting for its place in your reader’s inbox. That’s why every subject line, hook and message needs to grab attention and inspire action. 

As an experienced charity copywriter, I write email marketing that drives results – whether you’re promoting a fundraiser, appealing for donors or simply spreading awareness.

Together, we’ll ensure that your emails don’t just get opened – they get results.

Social media marketing tailored to charities

Social media is where your supporters gather and your future donors scroll.

I’ll help you with social media content that isn’t just about likes…but about loyalty. Think shareable posts, engaging campaigns and content that turns followers into advocates for your cause. 

I can also help with social media training for your charity. I’ll guide you through the latest tactics to raise your visibility on the platforms where potential donors and supporters spend their time. From full social media management to training and strategy, I can take care of it all.

My copy makeover (Before and after)

Here’s a sample of content written for a national charity, highlighting the challenges faced by carers in the UK.

Original content from the client

Relationships are rarely fixed throughout life, they grow and change with life stages and events, and people take the rough with the smooth most of the time. However, when a partner or family member becomes less able – and that may be for a variety of reasons although is usually associated with ill health – it may not be easy to acknowledge that a different kind of relationship will emerge.

Many people are carers without realising; providing support to a relative, partner or friend unpaid and on top of work and family commitments. With your support we aim to assist as many individuals as we can. 

New content

Relationships rarely stay the same – they grow and change throughout our lives. But when a partner or family member becomes less able, often for health reasons, it can profoundly affect that bond.

Many people become carers without even realising it – offering unpaid support to a relative, partner or friend on top of their work and family commitments. With your help, we’re determined to help as many carers as we can.

Salisbury Hospice Charity

Salisbury Hospice Charity needed website content that connected with both donors and patients. I created content that highlights the charity’s vital work, inspiring new fundraisers and donors while also providing patients and families with a clear, supportive information hub.

Sample charity copywriting for The Charity for Civil Servants

The Charity for Civil Servants

I work with this charity that helps civil servants navigate life’s challenges. From mental health awareness to money management, I’ve designed campaigns to inspire fundraisers, donors and volunteers. A recent highlight involved creating a playful comic series about skills-sharing, alongside lottery and festive jumper campaigns.

The Driver Youth Trust website

Driver Youth Trust

For this national charity, I developed a comprehensive social media strategy and email sequences to encourage teachers to engage in online SEND training. 

The Hope and Homes for Children website

Hope and Homes for Children

This Salisbury-based charity transforms children’s lives in some of the poorest parts of Europe and Africa. I brought their stories to life with a number of articles for the charity’s magazine.
