Charity comms can be messy, joyful, frustrating and brilliant - often all in one day. 😅

I’ve started sharing tips, reflections and lessons from freelance & in-house life over on Instagram.

For comms folks & cause-led brands who want to do good - without burning out: instagram.com/commswithabi/
Screenshot of the Instagram profile @commswithabi. The bio reads: “Abi Aldridge | Comms & Brand. ✨ Freelance comms & brand strategy by @abiialdridge. 💡 Helping charities & good causes. 🌿 Encouraging good comms & good rest. ⚡ part of @olio.creative.” There are three story highlights titled “Tips,” “My work,” and “About.” The top six grid posts include a brand copy tip graphic, two selfies, a photo of Abi with a dog, a “7 fun facts about me” Reel, and a post that says “Strong comms start with strategy.”

I'm taking today off for a special reason - my little sister turns 21! 🎉

11 years between us, and she’ll officially be a children’s nurse soon - I couldn’t be prouder of the amazing person she’s growing into. 🩺

Sharing a few of my favourite memories over the years. 📸
Abi and her sister, Ruby, at Abi's hen do. They're both posing and holding up signs that say 'bride to be' and 'Abi's hen party' Abi and Ruby taking a selfie in Mallorca, wearing matching caps Abi and Ruby in Palma, amongst trees in the sun. Both are holding shopping bags. A young Abi and Ruby at the British Museum, posing between Egyptian figures.

Realise I have lots of followers on here, and I've never properly introduced myself, so here goes (feat. Bruno, my trusty sidekick 🐾).

👋 Hi! I'm Abi – a freelance communications and brand strategist, mainly working with charities and good causes.

I'm always happy to connect, swap ideas or chat! 💬

One of those weeks where everything’s landing at once:
– Rebrand going public
– New website & socials live
– Email campaigns flying out
– Big-picture strategy for one org, tiny tweaks for another

If you're looking for comms or brand support, I’m open to new freelance projects! 👋 #CharityComms

Bruno showing off his new jumper on today's lunchtime walk... a bit gutted that the snow has already melted!

Anyone going to the Schools & Academies Show in Birmingham this week? 👋

I'll be there (Stand G84) with the NFER Classroom team chatting about our services, and handing out copies of our Research Bites for schools - full of evidence-based insights and tips for senior leaders and teachers. #SAAShow

All smiles on his walk earlier, before he came home and had a seizure. It’s like every time we think we can relax and have his epilepsy under control, he has another one! My poor baby 😓

So grateful to be working somewhere that allows me to work from home and keep an eye on him!

Thought I'd see what all the fuss is about!

Excited to share stories, insights, and a few adventures with my sidekick, Bruno 🐾💚.

Here’s to new connections, fresh perspectives - and hopefully a safer space than the bird app...
