I engaged Abi to write copy for a new website for the Winch, a charity that aims to level the playing field for families and young people in north London. She rose to the challenge of a tough brief and created beautiful wording that brought our services to life. Our website now welcomes people who don't speak perfect english and might find it difficult to ask for support...without sounding patronising. That was down to Abi's great work. Oh and she was fast and fun to work with - icing on the cake!

Abi is a charm to work with. She is exceedingly gifted with words - and on top of that was able to suss out exactly what was right for my personality. I don't usually recommend people - so this really shows how special Abi is.

      I work part time at Kidz Kabin across different areas of the business using the experience I have gained from freelance and consulting work. I add creative elements to the curriculum for the children in the nursery such as a weekly library that children can use and a poetry anthology to inspire activities. I am using my counselling and therapeutic training to expand my role into staff welfare and have implemented policy changes to reflect this. I manage communication with parents and staff and I work on larger scale issues, campaigning to try and influence national policies for the childcare sector on behalf of the nurseries.
