Letโs grow your community together
As a UK based virtual assistant, I help businesses and charities connect with the right people, and build meaningful networks.
Throughout my career working for various charities, Iโve seen the power of collaboration. Back in December 2022 I founded the Nottingham Charity Network, and since then Iโve hosted 15 in-person events, sparking lasting partnerships and creating a thriving network of charities and CICs. I wasnโt even employed by a charity when I set it up. I just believed collaboration was needed, and made it happen. This proves Iโm a nice person!
One of my favourite roles was as a Co-op Member Pioneer in a deprived Nottingham suburb. I chaired a bi-monthly forum bringing together schools, faith groups, food banks, funeral directors, and local organisations to tackle issues together. During lockdown, I helped reduced loneliness among older residents by organising Easter cards to them from local schoolchildren. The heartfelt messages of thanks I received remain one of my proudest achievements.
Please note, you donโt have to work in Nottingham to benefit from my networking and community building skills! I can help you as a freelance assistant wherever you are in the UK through the magic of LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.

โจ Making your brand sparkle online and in print
Throughout my portfolio career (or should I say โsquigglyโ!) I have loved writing and designing everything from social media and web pages for charities, email campaigns for house movers, researchers and legacy supporters printed newsletters for a local council.
Whether digital or print, I love creating content that makes brands shine.
Fun fact: back in the 2000s I sold personalised wedding invitations online, which was so long ago that Moonpig and online payments didnโt exist, โcookiesโ were only something you ate, and I had a business number on our landline!

๐ Words that work. Zero typos. Promise.
One of my favourite tasks is proofreading. I am one of those people who silently screams at a misplaced apostrophe, and my superpower is being able to spot a typo a mile away!
My virtual assistant services include providing meticulous proofreading that will ensure you and your business always look professional.
At Hillarys Blinds I updated 39 webpages (19,500 words) about curtains to improve accessibility and SEO. I also produced 37 regional web pages for Thomas Sanderson, showcasing local services and transformations. Thatโs a lot of words about blinds and shutters, and Iโm sure your content will be more exciting!
### Does your website need a little love?
As a virtual assistant, I can proofread your website, check for broken links or out of date content, add blog content and so much more. You will have confidence that every communication I proofread will represent your organisation at its very best.
Iโve had so much experience writing and editing, and Iโd love to put this experience to good use for you. Clients trust me to keep their tone of voice consistent, their grammar spotless, and their brand looking professional.
From flagship memorial events to parties for charityโs supporters, Iโve planned and delivered many successful campaigns and events, ensuring smooth logistics and high quality outcomes. You can avoid the stress of poorly managed projects and missed deadlines, because you can trust me to handle every detail and ensure events run smoothly from start to finish. Youโll have peace of mind knowing that projects are well-organised, audience-focused, and deliver tangible results.
