Award-Winning Social Impact Storyteller & Documentary Photographer
Your Charity's Impact Deserves Better Stories.
I help charity communications and fundraising teams tell stories that raise money, shift public opinion, and inspire people to act — through workshops, consulting, and professional photography.
Your team knows
storytelling matters.
But nobody's shown them how.
Most charity comms teams are stretched thin — writing bid reports, updating the website, managing social media.
Storytelling gets squeezed into whatever time is left, and the result is stories that describe what you do instead of proving why it matters. Funders skim them. Supporters scroll past them. Your impact stays invisible.

Three ways I work with charities
-
A structured session for your comms or fundraising team using my Social Impact Storytelling Framework — the same 5-step method I teach to charity leaders across the UK. Your team leaves with a repeatable system for finding, shaping, and telling stories that connect.
-
One-to-one or team-level strategic support to strengthen your storytelling across campaigns, bids, cases for support, and donor communications. Includes a Storytelling Audit option (£1,500–2,500) for organisations wanting a structured starting point.
-
Documentary and event photography that captures your charity's work with dignity and power. Images designed to work across annual reports, campaigns, social media, and fundraising materials. My approach was learned from my time at Magnum Photos.
"I don't just teach storytelling — I've used it to build a national advocacy campaign that reached 54 million people, produced an award-winning Channel 4 documentary, and co-founded a charity that changed how people talk about LGBTQ+ rights in faith communities."
