The problem

Elizabeth FitzRoy is a national charity based in Hampshire serving young adults with learning difficulties. Stakeholders are a diverse group, including service users, employees and members of the Board. The annual report writing needed clarity and it also needed to be accessible.

The answer

Clear, concise copywriting from Editing Edge, human in tone but with the attention to detail required by such a legal document.

The result

A bright, engaging annual report that reflects the ethos and spirit of FitzRoy.

What else makes this annual review special? Plenty of pictures of service users in action, taking advantage of all the charity offers!

Copywriting for annual reports – a question of style

Copywriting for annual reports requires a different style from brochure writing or website copywriting. The tone is usually more formal – but it doesn’t have to be. The key is the target audience – who will be reading the report? This usually means customers, shareholders, the Board and staff.

Financial information needs to be clearly set out and the credibility of the organisation rests on its track record and sustainability of future plans. We have technical copywriters used to handling complex briefs and delivering clear, focused documents.

There may be occasions, however, where more anecdotal language can be used in case studies, staff profiles and project updates.

We tailor our annual report writing and technical copywriting to match the character and needs of your business.
