Sarah Walker Writing Services is closing...

BUT THIS IS NOT GOODBYE!

Due to a growing client base and opportunities to pursue other public relations contracts in partnership with a former Gazette colleague Sarah Dale, SASS media Ltd has been born.

Because Two Sarahs are better than one!

Existing SWWS clients will be looked after by SASS media Ltd from September 1 and new clients who we are helping with PR support and copywriting services are now being taken on under the SASS media Ltd brand.

We hope you will follow our new page SASS media - give it a like and share it with your friends if you can!

Call me on 07896 894538 if you would like to discuss your PR support and copywriting needs.

Thank you for your support over the past two years!
Kind regards, Sarah W!

Look out for the summer newsletter for Our Hospitals Charity, which has just been signed off today! Ben Murphy, Sarah Carlton, Marie Levy.

I love, love, LOVE writing this! It keeps me so busy, but takes me back to my roots of healthcare and human interest stories.

I get to meet and talk to some amazing people doing fantastic things to support improvements to healthcare in our local area, from 'Nutty Knitters' to the most brave people who have raised funds in memory of loved ones, despite their enormous grief. It's such a privilege to help share their experiences.

Thank you to everyone who has got this latest project over the line and I really hope it helps showcase the fantastic work of Our Hospitals Charity so they can raise even more funds!

Keep up the good work!

Very happy to provide a testimonial for Lindsey Gallagher, of The Original Mortgage Company, who recently helped us change our mortgage to a fixed rate and secure some additional funds to do some home improvements.

Whatever your circumstances (we wanted an affordable mortgage on the strength of Dave's earnings alone) she can help you find original ideas for your finances!

Lindsey demonstrates a ‘can do’ approach to all your needs and is unbelievably responsive – she replied almost straight away to all my messages and questions.

Lindsey is a true star of her profession. She is so down to earth, patient, kind and empathic.

I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I'm really pleased to be doing some work with Shak Asghar and the fantastic team at Nudl, writing some case studies for their website.

I was also able to turn one of the case studies into a press release that achieved coverage in The Northern Echo.

This detailed how skignz a breakthrough digital business based in Middlesbrough's Boho, got funding through Nudl to bring one of its products to a new market.

Below is a link to a pdf of the story. Thanks to Mike Hughes for picking it up!

I get more of a buzz out of seeing my clients' stories in the newspaper than I ever did as a journalist getting a byline!

Being able to use my skills as a journalist and PR professional to help my clients get the recognition and acknowledgement they deserve is a great feeling.

The Gaming Hideaway Thornaby is a fantastic post-pandemic success story for Teesside.

One year after opening up in Thornaby when covid restrictions were lifted - not knowing whether the business would sink or swim in a post-pandemic world - Rachel and Kaiyn Crooks have already got the keys to their second venue in Bishop Auckland.

More news will follow for both Thornaby and Bishop Auckland later in the year.

Thanks to Mike Hughes for picking up the story, on page 20 (BUSINESSiQ North East) of today's Echo.

Village and nearby towns need cash to support those fleeing war-torn cities

25/03/2022

This month, I have had the privilege of telling Steve Bullock and Lucy's story, about how the war in Ukraine has affected them.

Steve, from Middlesbrough, married Lucy from Ukraine during the pandemic. The couple will have been together five years in May.

Lucy is currently in her home town of Zasullya in Ukraine, continuing to teach children English via Zoom, as well as helping people fleeing war torn cities and making camouflage netting for vehicles - generally trying to live a normal life whilst preparing for a time when the war may arrive in their small village.

Please share the story so Steve may attract more funding to his page to help everyone affected by war in Lucy's village Ukraine.

Thank you to Marie Levy for the recommendation after my recent work with South Tees Hospitals on the new website.

It was lovely to work with Marie again helping to rewrite some content and create some nice new website pages and it was fantastic to meet some new faces in the PR team.

Marie writes: "Sarah did an excellent job of transferring content to our new website and ensuring it met NHS accessibility guidelines. It was a pleasure to have Sarah as part of the team for this major project."
