Comms mentoring and 121 strategic support

Sometimes you don’t need a rebrand, a strategy document or a new agency. You need space to think - with someone who understands communications in practice, not just in theory.

Working in communications can be isolating. You’re expected to think strategically, deliver consistently, manage stakeholders and keep everything ticking - often without much space to talk things through.

This 1:1 mentoring and communications support is for people who don’t want to carry that alone. It combines mentoring with structured strategic thinking, grounded in real-world charity communications experience.

What this support looks like

These offers combine mentoring with practical, structured communications support.

It’s designed to flex around you and your role, but typically includes:

  • Regular 1:1 check-ins (monthly or fortnightly)

  • Mentoring focused on your confidence, development and decision-making

  • Space to talk through challenges as they happen - not just in hindsight

  • Practical comms support, such as sense-checking ideas, planning next steps or troubleshooting tricky situations

  • A friendly but honest voice in your corner (including reminders to log off on time)

It’s not about doing the work for you. It’s about supporting you through it.

  • Work in communications (particularly charity or purpose-driven roles)

  • Want mentoring alongside practical, ongoing support

  • Are experienced and capable, but still value talking things through

  • Value thoughtful, strategic support over quick fixes or generic advice.
