Making change happen through campaigning, research and learning.

I can help if you want to…

…bring about change
Well-chosen words can be powerful levers for change and I admire people who are willing to speak out for what they believe in. I enjoy working with those who are breaking new ground, challenging injustice and supporting vulnerable people. I can help your campaign or cause by writing case studies and feature articles; by researching and writing reports; or by co-authoring policy documents. I have written on behalf of campaigns for carers, for homeless women and for voluntary organisations. I have been an advisor for Turkey to the Hamlet Trust, which supports mental health NGOs (non-governmental organisations) in Eastern Europe. I am interested in commissions to support human rights work and freedom of expression.

….design and/or develop your learning materials
I can design and write learning materials for any academic level. I use language that is clear and straightforward, even when the subject matter is complex. Nobody should ever be made to feel stupid, especially when they are learning. My experience has been in the community, health and social policy fields but I’m always open to new areas.

I have worked as a trainer and facilitator before becoming a writer. I have written training materials for many clients and was a senior distance learning author for the Royal College of Nursing Institute until 2007. I have helped to design and develop learning resources for RCN trade union representatives across the UK.
