CASE STUDY - OUR ANGELS CHARITY & SUPPORT GROUP

ABOUT THE CHARITY

Our Angels Charity & Support Group is based in Harrogate and has been providing vital emotional and practical support to families who have experienced the loss of a baby since 2009. The charity offers a welcoming, non-judgemental space for anyone affected, no matter how early in the pregnancy, and works to support families, health professionals, and the wider community.

Key initiatives include:

  • The Bluebell Suite at Harrogate District Hospital, a calm and compassionate space for bereaved families, renovated from the earlier Ferndale Suite.

  • Training and support for health professionals in bereavement care.

  • The Scanner Appeal, funding a mobile ultrasound scanning unit to improve maternal care and support for families.

  • Corporate sponsorship and workplace giving programmes to support ongoing initiatives.

THE CHALLENGE

While Our Angels had a strong track record, steady donations, and previous successes – including raising £45,000 for the Bluebell Suite at the Harrogate District Hospital delivery suite and maintaining an annual fund for bereavement counselling, they needed support to grow and scale their impact further.

They were looking for:

  • A digital hub to provide guidance, updates, events, blogs, fundraising resources, and corporate sponsorship information.

  • Organised systems for managing projects, communications, fundraising campaigns,  volunteers, and operations.

  • A structured way to engage corporate partners while staying true to the charity’s compassionate values.

TIMELINE OF SUPPORT

2020 – DIGITAL SUPPORT HUB

In 2020, we started working with Our Angels by designing and managing their website.

That website now acts as:

  • A direct and confidential support channel for families.
  • A place to share guidance, blog posts, events, and updates.
  • A hosting platform for fundraising information, sponsorship materials, and a corporate‑/employer‑facing section to outline how businesses can support the charity.

This work laid the digital foundation that allows the charity to communicate, engage, and grow.

2023 – EXPANDING STRATEGIC INVOLVEMENT

I stepped in to provide broader operational support, helping with social media, communications, and preparing the charity for scaling fundraising and corporate engagement.

OCTOBER 2024 – PRESENT: SYSTEMS, STRATEGY & GROWTH

From October 2024, my focus has been on putting systems and structure in place to support sustainable growth:

  • Introduced Monday.com as the central hub for projects, documents, volunteers, and team communications.

  • Created the charity’s LinkedIn page to engage local businesses, raise awareness, and strengthen corporate partnerships.

  • Advised the Trustees to speak with the midwife team at Harrogate District Hospital to explore key improvements in maternal healthcare -leading to the Scanner Appeal.

  • Developed and managed social media campaigns to steadily raise awareness and support fundraising.

  • Designed a suite of branded Canva templates for newsletters, social posts, event materials, and corporate packs to ensure the charity can continue producing professional content independently.
