Reviews
Kate is an experienced writer/editor with skills across communications, fundraising and advocacy.
She is also a strategic thinker, with the ability to help shape briefs and steer requests towards the approach that will best suit the audiences and channels for each individual piece of work. Over the years we have worked together she has demonstrated her skills in her calm, focused and creative approach to projects. She is also a super lovely person to have around, and always a genuine ray of sunshine on whatever it is that you are working on together! Highly recommended.

I have no hesitation in recommending Kate,
she has true integrity and passion for the causes with which she works.
Kate quickly built an empathic rapport during interviews with the families of children with hydrocephalus.
She ensured their views and experiences were represented appropriately and the families expressed how well she had researched and handled the sensitive subject.

Kate is an excellent writer and all-round comms pro.
She's naturally a people-person, which makes her perfectly suited to figuring out how audiences think and feel, and how to engage them. She's worked on some tough subjects and always delivered top quality work. I'd happily recommend her for any charity comms project, especially where a degree of sensitivity and care is needed. She's super reliable and an absolute joy to work with.
Kate is a super editor and writer, and an absolute pleasure to work with.
She is also someone driven by the issues. When she joined the WaterAid global brand/editorial team, she came from a press liaison role where she had travelled extensively, meeting communities in Africa and Asia, and supporters across the UK. This meant Kate could create content from a place of authenticity and authority. She was also great fun and very funny - able to manage client team expectations and translate technical information into engaging comms every time. Highly recommend!

Kate is skilled at translating complex information into stories and content that anyone can understand. She is experienced in all aspects of external and internal communications and her excellent written skills are evident in her copywriting, editing and proofreading.
Kate developed a communication strategy for RASASC, effectively managing the details that got the job done. Kate is a consummate professional, friendly and approachable and has my highest possible recommendation.
I wholeheartedly recommend working with Kate who is a fantastic communications professional.
It was a joy working with her at WaterAid, both because she is great at her job and also because she is great to be around.
