Supporting a major multi-contributor charity campaign through full proofreading and editorial consistency review.

When charities publish large-scale campaigns, consistency matters just as much as creativity.

For the 2026 edition of 40acts, Stewardship's annual Lent generosity campaign, I provided Full Proofreading and editorial consistency support across a substantial body of content created by multiple contributors.

The campaign content would be published through the Stewardship app and shared across digital channels, making accuracy, readability and consistency particularly important.

At a glance.

The challenge.

Stewardship commissioned Ultimate Proof Ltd to review and proofread:

• 40 individual campaign reflections (approximately 350 words each)
• Additional campaign content, including prayers and supporting materials
• More than 14,000 words in total
• Content created by multiple contributors

The organisation wanted to ensure that all content met professional editorial standards while preserving the individual tone and voice of each contributor.

Alongside proofreading, Stewardship required house style conventions to be applied consistently across both internal and contributor-generated content, wherever changes could be made without altering meaning or authorial voice.

For example, style decisions such as replacing '&' with 'and' could be applied consistently across the campaign without affecting the character of the original writing.

The support provided.

Full Proofreading

The review included:

• Detailed checks for UK spelling, grammar and punctuation
• Application of Stewardship's established house style
• Consistency reviews across multiple authors and contributors
• Identification of recurring style decisions
• Editorial observations relating to future style guide development

Style Guide Support

As part of the review process, I also noted:

• Campaign-specific editorial conventions
• Areas where additional guidance could be useful
• Potential omissions within the existing house style guide
• Recurring editorial decisions that could be documented for future campaigns

This provided valuable insight beyond the immediate proofreading requirements and helped support longer-term consistency.

The outcome.

All files were reviewed, documented and uploaded to a shared online workspace in line with the project schedule.

The completed campaign content benefited from:

• Improved consistency
• Clearer application of house style
• Accurate spelling, grammar and punctuation
• Stronger editorial cohesion across multiple contributors

In addition, recommendations were provided to support future refinements to Stewardship's house style guidance, helping strengthen consistency across future publications and campaigns.

• Communications teams
• Campaign managers
• Multi-contributor publications
• Faith-based organisations
