Newsletters
for Birmingham Community Matters

Since 2017 I have worked with Birmingham Community Matters (BCM) - a charity that supports people to set up, run and grow small community organisations in Birmingham. Every month I write BCM’s popular newsletter, sharing details of events, programmes, funding opportunities and resources to help people achieve their goals. It has a mailing list of more than 1,000 people from the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector across Birmingham and high open rates (47.5 per cent in September 2024). I strive for high accessibility standards, with clean formatting, easy-to-understand language and alt-text behind each relevant image. I test each newsletter multiple times before sending it, and work with other members of the team to check links, accuracy and coherency. The newsletter earns BCM lots of lovely feedback.
