With ngo.media you're not just getting good charity copywriting

We know there are dozens of freelance writers out there offering copywriting to charities. We also know a few of them cost less than ngo.media. Though some of them cost a lot more.

We want you to know that with ngo.media you're not just getting good charity copywriting. We guarantee you a package of writing and editing expertise, project management and sector knowledge that you simply can't find anywhere else.

1. Unrivalled sector expertise

ngo.media lives and breathes charity; every minute, every hour, every day. We only work with charities, campaign groups and socially driven organisations. We're not writing about travel one day, business the next, and weddings the next. Right here is where our interest and our expertise lie. We know all the sector bodies, the relevant legislation and funding pots, the sensitivities, the controversies and the celebrations. You won't need to offer long, detailed introductions to your work. Whatever your cause or issue, we're already bound to have worked with a number of organisations doing similar things.

2. Trained journalists

Every member of the ngo.media writing team is a trained journalist. We don't just fancy ourselves as good scribblers. Writing and journalism is our career, and we have the paperwork to prove it. Our writers boast training with the biggest trade magazine company in the UK, with the London College of Communication, the London School of Journalism and with Cardiff University's prestigious School of Journalism. Between us, we have a lifetime of experience at the hard end of journalism, writing news and features for national tabloids, broadsheets, websites, consumer and business to business magazines, as well as for charities.

3. The right background

When you work with ngo.media, you get our long track record of writing about the issues you care about. Between us we have worked for both the sector press and for charities themselves before coming to ngo.media. Previous employers include Third Sector, The Guardian and Guardian Society, The Big Issue, Community Care, New Start, Social Enterprise, Channel 4 Health, Campaign Against Arms Trade, Macmillan Cancer Support and Mencap. Today, our journalists work with dozens of charities, on hundreds of publications, every year.

4. Two for the price of one

No piece of work, whether writing, design, a proofread or a single web page, leaves ngo.media without it first being double-checked by a second member of our team. You simply get a better finished product that way.

5. The whole package

We don't just offer copywriting, leaving you to struggle to find other parts of the puzzle. ngo.media offers a complete publications package - from concepts and copywriting, through to editing, design, photography, proofreading, print preparation and print buying. We manage your whole project, working closely with you to produce an excellent final product. We also offer training, consultancy and help with other communications issues. Tell us what you need and we promise to help you make it happen.

6. We're available

We know your important piece of work often needs doing now, not next month. Because we're a large team, we can get started right away. Whatever your project, we give it the attention it deserves. It'll never just be jammed in between other jobs, nor will it have to compete for space or commitment with other projects.

7. Plugging into our network

ngo.media is part of the charity sector, and we're certainly well known among charity communicators. That means when you work with us, you get access to a wide network of experience. We often refer clients to other charities for advice, or plug them into expertise they didn't know existed. Our clients regularly call us just to bounce around ideas, or to ask if we know anyone who has done a similar campaign. ngo.media editor Gideon Burrows was one of the driving forces behind CharityComms, the trade body for charity communicators, and we organise the annual Charity Communications conference. We're known, we're around and we like to share.

8. Making you look good

We've worked with scores of charity communications teams over the years, so we know the pressures you are under to perform. We know all about the difficult relationships you might have with fundraising, the constant battle it can be even to justify your existence. ngo.media is not just about filling blank pages with words. We're dedicated to helping you to achieve your objectives, to meet your targets. In short, we help you to communicate better while making your job easier. That's good news for your charity and for your beneficiaries. And that's great news for you.

9. No conflict of interest

At ngo.media we're used to seeing the insides of charities, warts and all. It's part of the job to help you deal with some of your organisation's most sensitive and private issues. Because we don't work for charities one day, then for muckraking newspapers and magazines the next, our loyalty is never compromised. Just as you would expect from any member of your team, we guarantee absolute discretion as we help to deal with your problem.

10. Absolute value for money

We promise your budget will never have worked so hard. Work with ngo.media, even on a single web page, and you will benefit from a package of experience, knowledge, networking and support that you simply can't get anywhere else. We'll help you to get your job done quickly, without hassles and to the very highest standard.
