Coalition for Inclusion and Anti-Oppressive Practice

Race is Complicated toolkit

The Coalition for Inclusion and Anti-Oppressive Practice brings together the 11 leading professional bodies for psychotherapists in the UK to improve diversity and encourage anti-racist practice within the profession.

I worked with the Coalition to create Race is Complicated: A toolkit for psychological therapies training. The publication aims to give institutions that train psychotherapists, programme leaders and tutors themselves the tools to better understand and address race and diversity, and promote anti-oppressive practice to their students.

The Coalition commissioned two psychotherapists with a specialism in this area, Danielle and Marcelline, to author the toolkit. They brought me on to the project to support the authors to mould their ideas into an easy-to-follow, slickly structured, powerful publication with a deep impact on readers.

I carefully edited the copy into well-structured sections (one for each of our key audiences), pulling out the most important points and making copy as concise as possible, as well as clear and jargon-free for readers. I created consistent headers and signposting for each section, and broke down copy into easy-to-read chunks by using box-outs, bullet points, checklists and more.

“I just wanted to tell you how incredibly happy Marcelline and Danielle are to be working with you. They are absolutely delighted with and amazed at how you are so sensitively crafting their words and honouring their voices. You have helped them to understand what a toolkit looks like.”

Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis

Editing Insider magazine

Since early 2024 I’ve edited Insider, APF’s bi-annual magazine for people with pulmonary fibrosis (PF). This involves coming up with content ideas based on insights, data and feedback, and writing engaging news and features for people with PF, working with staff across the organisation.

I also manage the design and proofreading of the magazine, working with the designer to create a visually impactful publication.

RAF Benevolent Fund

Impact report and annual report

For the past four years I’ve project managed and written the RAF Benevolent Fund’s impact report and annual report.

This has involved working closely with teams throughout the Fund, including finance, communications and fundraising, to produce a brief for the publications, and to create timelines and feedback processes. I’ve then made sure the project stays on track throughout its six-month duration.

Alongside writing all the copy for both reports and interviewing case studies, I’ve managed design and photography, and worked with the Fund’s digital team to create online versions of the publications.

WWF

Palm Oil Scorecard, Soy Scorecard and other work

Clearing land to grow palm oil and soy is a major cause of deforestation in Asia and South America. WWF’s high profile Palm Oil Scorecard and Soy Scorecard rate major global companies on how much sustainable palm oil and soy they use.

WWF launched new versions of both communications in 2016, including microsites and printed reports. I co-ordinated both projects, which involved editing copy for the microsites and reports, managing the work of a graphic design and digital agency on the design of both, and working with WWF teams in four countries. I also helped produce the previous editions of both Scorecards in 2013 and 2014.

Other work for WWF

I’ve been working with WWF, in the UK and internationally, since 2008, on everything from magazine and website copy, to managing the production of reports.
