Some of our charity clients

“It was great to work with the guys at Prohibition on the Burrow’s Blonde launch content. Even with an incredibly tight turnaround time, the event was rigorously planned, contingency plans created, and coverage put in motion. The video storyboard was embedded in the event planning, allowing all shots to be captured seamlessly and without it seeming intrusive. The resulting videos, edited into different formats, perfectly captured the day and ticked all the boxes we wanted it to.”

Our Approach to Charity PR

Build Long Term Support and Awareness through PR

Our deep understanding of the media landscape and every stakeholder involved in the process, from donors and volunteers to policymakers and the wider public, makes us well-equipped to build strategies that motivate people to engage with your cause.

A common challenge your organisation might be facing is donor and supporter awareness and this is where targeted PR becomes invaluable. By securing media coverage, we’ll not only ensure that your message is being heard by the right people, but that those people continue to support the cause. For us, it’s not only about building initial awareness, its about creating long-term relationships that lead to ongoing donations, volunteer support, and meaningful partnerships.

Social media to engage new supporters

As well as a thorough PR strategy, we work with our charity clients across social – offering our Social 360 that tracks conversations in real time. With this, we can stay on top of emerging trends, monitor sentiment, and provide strategic insight based on our learnings. It’s a powerful tool for crisis prevention too, ensuring we’re ahead of the curve regarding any negative sentiment or potential escalations to protect your reputation.

We further support across paid social advertising, with paid social serving a highly effective way to extend reach, build awareness, and directly engage with members of the public who may not be familiar with your charity.

Case Study: Yorkshire Cancer Research: Giving cancer the boot

We were challenged to boost both awareness and donations for Yorkshire Cancer Research’s festive campaign; a key moment in the charity’s fundraising calendar. We needed to inspire supporters to get involved and make a real impact.

We built a PR approach that mixed national news buzz with regional relevance that felt right at home in the Christmas media landscape. Using digital content, we guided supporters directly to the campaign’s fundraising hub, making it quick and easy to show support.

The results kicked every target into touch:

  • 65 pieces of high-quality media coverage across national and regional press
  • £25k uplift in donations year-on-year
  • 720 direct visits to the campaign’s donation page
  • Three times the donations of the previous Christmas campaign


What is Charity PR?

Charity PR, or public relations for nonprofit organisations, is a strategic approach to create and maintain a positive public image for a cause in the media. It helps charities raise awareness, build trust, and inspire action by sharing stories that resonate with the public. This can include traditional media such as newspapers, radio, and television, alongside newer forms of communication like social media, influencer partnerships, and digital campaigns.

How can PR help charities?

There are many ways that charity PR can support nonprofit organisations. One of the most important is raising awareness. Through well planned PR campaigns, a charity can reach new audiences, shine a spotlight on its mission, and encourage people to take action, whether that means donating, volunteering, or advocating for the cause.

PR can also help charities position themselves as trusted voices in their sector. By sharing expert insights, thought leadership, and real stories of impact, charities can build credibility and trust with supporters, stakeholders, and the wider public.

Another key benefit of charity PR is reputation management. In times of crisis or negative publicity, PR professionals can step in quickly to protect the charity’s reputation, provide clear communication, and maintain public confidence.

Overall, charity PR is a vital tool for any nonprofit organisation. It helps increase visibility, strengthen credibility, and safeguard reputation, ensuring the charity can continue to make a difference.

How is the charity sector different to any other?

The charity sector is unique because success is not measured in sales but in awareness, engagement, and the ability to inspire people to support a cause. Unlike commercial industries, charities must often achieve maximum impact with limited budgets, which makes strong communications even more important. To stand out, a charity must tell its story in a way that resonates emotionally and motivates action.

This is where effective PR services play a vital role. From securing national media coverage to building strong online communities, PR can help a charity establish its presence, build credibility, and ensure its voice is heard in a crowded landscape.

Whether it is launching a new campaign, raising awareness for an appeal, or growing long-term supporter engagement both online and offline, our award-winning PR services can guarantee measurable growth in visibility and support for your cause.
