Editorial review for charities, social enterprises and non-profit organisations.

Charities are producing more content than ever. Annual reports, impact reports, fundraising campaigns, supporter communications, websites, policies and social content all play an important role in demonstrating impact and building trust.

At the same time, many communications teams are working with limited resources, multiple contributors and increasing use of AI tools.

Through Ultimate Proof Ltd, I provide flexible editorial support that helps charities communicate clearly, consistently and confidently.

Whether you need a Professional Light Review, Full Proofreading, PDF publication checks or support developing editorial standards, I can help ensure your content is accurate, professional and aligned with your organisation's values.

Supporting busy charity communications teams.

Many charities don't need a full-time editor; they need an experienced external reviewer who can step in when workload increases, publication deadlines approach or an extra layer of quality assurance is required.

Support may include:

• Annual reports
• Impact reports
• Trustee reports
• Supporter communications
• Fundraising materials
• Campaign content
• Websites
• Publications and newsletters
• AI-assisted content
  

Annual reports & impact reports.

Annual reporting is one of the most important communication activities a charity undertakes. These publications often combine contributions from multiple teams, trustees, senior leaders and external partners.

I help charities ensure their reports are:

• Consistent
• Clear
• Accurate
• Publication-ready
• Professionally presented
  

Fundraising & supporter communications.

Trust and clarity matter to your supporters. Whether communicating with donors, supporters, volunteers or beneficiaries, I help charities ensure content is professional, accessible and aligned with their organisational voice.

Support includes:

• Appeals
• Newsletters
• Campaign materials
• Stewardship communications
• Website content
• Donor reports
• Magazine-style publications
  

AI-generated content review for charities.

Many charities are now using AI tools to support content creation. These tools can be extremely useful, but they don't always reflect an organisation's voice, values or audience expectations.

I help charities review AI-assisted content to ensure it remains:

• Human
• Consistent
• Credible
• Sensitive to audience needs
• Aligned with brand voice
  

Editorial style guides for education.

As your charity grows, maintaining consistency across communications can become increasingly difficult. A clear editorial style guide helps ensure that content produced by staff, freelancers, agencies and AI tools follows agreed standards.

Style guides can cover:

• Tone of voice
• Inclusive language
• Programme names
• Capitalisation
• Charity-specific terminology
• AI content standards
• House style conventions
