- Shelter and Shelter Scotland
- Friends of the Earth
- Mind
- Fundraising Everywhere
- Giving Tuesday
- Chartered Institute of Fundraising
- Alzheimers Scotland
- Children’s Hospices Across Scotland
Here’s what people who have worked with me have said:
Becky Steeden, former Strategic Social Media Manager at RNLI
‘The first word that comes to mind when I think of Rebs is integrity – they’re honest and principled to a fault. Rebs is brimming with compassion and kindness, and will always speak up when they see unfairness. They’re an excellent people manager and an enthusiastic champion for inclusivity.
Rebs is an experienced and knowledgeable fundraiser in multiple disciplines, and is passionate about the charity sector. They also know social media inside out and backwards! They think creatively and strategically, but they’re also great with detail, working in a very organised and structured way – planning is a strength of Rebs. It’s been a joy working with Rebs and I’m really going to miss them – they bring a fun and energy to work that is infectious!
Spike Witney, Head of Social Media at Shelter
‘I’d recommend Rebs as a freelancer for their extensive social media expertise and fantastic knowledge of the charity sector overall. They’re great at devising, coordinating, and delivering complex social media plans – for a wide range of subjects and clients. Always mindful of the wider context, they can be trusted to meet deadlines and hit the ground running, even in very busy environments.
A key strength Rebs has is their ability to identify opportunities to improve internal processes by introducing robust, new ways of working. Rebs will always be able to bring a new perspective on how things are done at your organisation and isn’t afraid to show how things can be improved for the long-term. They’re objective-focused and will always strive for improvement for your social media content, with the overall user experience at the heart of their work’.
Amanda Collins, Head of Communications at Shelter Scotland
‘Rebs has a proven track record in digital communications with charities and their strategic approach to our project, coupled with their fresh ideas and strong communication skills, has helped us challenge ourselves and tighten up our approach to social media. I’ve been really impressed with their ability to focus in on what we wanted to get out of working together as well as their professionalism, reliability, and passion for making a positive impact. Wouldn’t hesitate to partner on future projects’.
Jess Bruce, Head of Communications at Alzheimers Scotland
‘Rebs was a lifesaver during a period when we were low on resources and had knowledge gaps in our staffing. They put together a really comprehensive strategy but were also able to ‘muck in’ when we needed it. They were incredibly patient and flexible with us during quite a stressful period of time. We are very grateful for all of their hard work and would definitely work with them again in the future’.
