Inspiring Positive Impact

I’ve delivered many training workshops to very small charities and community groups, helping them develop a system to feel more organised in their research into potential funders, long before they’re in a position to invest in a CRM. I’ve found that smaller groups in particular can find this process quite overwhelming, so it’s not always seen as a priority.


So I’ve tried to simplify it, providing a user-friendly template that takes away some of the stress of what can feel like a whirlwind of competing deadlines for small teams.


🗄️ I’m now adapting my previous training into practical templates, worksheets, and step-by-step guidance for small charities, social enterprises, and community groups, starting with a simple process to log your funder research and keep track of funders.

This week I’m sharing a quiet Spring update from my cosy journaling hideaway. Life’s had its ups and downs lately, and sometimes I just need to breathe and reset.

I’ve just updated the way I describe my work to better reflect the direction I’m heading in.

Right now, I'm focusing on creating planning tools and resources that support purpose-led work. I'm also sharing more of my own process, and still take on consultancy projects when they're the right fit.

You’ll see my upcoming articles and videos reflect this shift. You can find out more here: www.rachelireland.co.uk/

In this pair of videos I’m sharing two everyday planning tools that quietly support the things that matter most - whether that’s your wellbeing, your creativity, or the difference you want to make in the world.

The first is a quarterly setup in my Sterling Ink Planner, where I walk through how I set goals, define priorities, and reflect on what’s ahead.

Inspired by my favourite channel ‪@JobsJournal‬ to create a new series of videos capturing moments from my creative freelance life in the countryside. In contrast to my training content, these videos offer a slower, more personal look at the routines, tools, and creative practices that help me stay grounded in purpose-led work. I hope they bring a sense of inspiration or connection, especially if you're navigating change too.
