The Brief

Together Co is a Brighton-based charity tackling loneliness and social isolation through befriending services and community support. Each year, the organisation produces an Impact Report — a document designed to showcase outcomes, share stories, and secure future funding through grants and donations.

During my two years in-house, I led the creation of two of these reports from planning to publication, ensuring they reflected the lived experiences of the community while clearly communicating measurable impact.

The Approach

End-to-End Project Leadership

Working in-house meant I could collaborate face-to-face with key colleagues across services, fundraising, and management, streamlining planning and approvals.

Each report spanned approximately six weeks and included:

Mapping the report structure and narrative flow
Interviewing volunteers, staff, and beneficiaries
Writing a foreword, charity overview, and outcome summaries
Collating data, statistics, and financials to illustrate tangible results
Commissioning and directing photography to humanise the work

Editorial & Visual Direction

I drew on my background in editing and designing a Brighton lifestyle magazine to shape the report’s look and feel — balancing:

Clear, on-brand design and layout
Authentic imagery, featuring real volunteers and community members
A tone of voice that was hopeful, grounded, and accessible

Print & Digital Output

The final report was produced as an A4 booklet, designed for both print and digital sharing. It became a key asset for the fundraising team, used in grant applications and stakeholder engagement.

Challenges & Solutions

Tight timelines: Managed full production cycles within 6 weeks, using clear scheduling and coordination

Balancing emotional storytelling with data: Ensured that personal stories never lost sight of measurable impact

Photography on a budget: Commissioned and directed shoots with careful forward planning to maximise time with subjects and make every shot count

Key Results

Two professionally produced reports delivered on time and to brief
Helped the fundraising team apply for and secure new grants
Showcased quantitative outcomes alongside personal stories for emotional and evidential impact
Created a reusable content framework and photography archive for future campaigns
