Helping Good Grow – How Blumilk Supports the Charity Sector
Charities and not-for-profits are often the heart of our communities – supporting those who need it most, championing causes that matter, and creating spaces for connection and care. But to thrive, these organisations need more than just good intentions. They need strong storytelling, clear messaging, and an online presence that does their impact justice.
That’s where we come in.
At Blumilk, we’re charity marketing experts and we are proud to partner with charities across the North East and beyond, helping them build their brands, engage their supporters, and reach the people who need them. Here are just a few of the inspiring organisations we’ve had the pleasure to work with.
Tiny Lives – Putting Families First with Digital Design
Tiny Lives is a small charity making a huge difference, supporting families with premature and sick babies at Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary Neonatal Unit.
When they came to us, they needed a website that reflected the care and compassion they deliver every day. We worked closely with their team to create a more intuitive, welcoming online space. From clearer navigation to tailored user journeys for families, donors, and supporters, every decision was made with their community in mind.
To bring their impact to life, we also produced a series of heartfelt video interviews with parents and staff, helping share the stories that make Tiny Lives so special. And with a new communications plan in place, the charity is better equipped to raise awareness and support even more families across the region.
The Alnwick Garden – Growing a Mission with Meaning
Known for its stunning landscapes and creative spaces, The Alnwick Garden is more than just a tourist destination. It’s a North East charity that runs powerful programmes for older people, young people with disabilities, and communities facing isolation.
Our job was to help them tell that story.
We supported them as we refreshed their messaging and visual identity to shine a brighter light on the impact they’re making – not just in the garden, but in people’s lives. With a brand strategy that balances beauty with purpose, we helped The Alnwick Garden communicate more clearly with visitors, supporters, and funders alike.
From printed materials to campaign messaging, our work aimed to make sure their voice is as strong and inspiring as the work they do every day.
Newcastle United Foundation – Connecting Through Sport
The Newcastle United Foundation harnesses the power of football to change lives across the North East. It’s a mission we’ve been proud to support through a range of creative and strategic projects.
Here’s how we’ve helped:
- Celebration Dinners & Events: Designing standout materials and branding to bring their flagship events to life.
- Wall Graphics: Creating inspiring visuals for their hubs that reflect the spirit of the Foundation.
- Impactful Reports: Designing everything from Annual Reviews to Funder Reports that tell their story with clarity and heart.
From community pitches to boardroom presentations, our work helps the Foundation connect with every part of their audience – from the young people they support to the partners who help make it all possible.
Let’s Make a Difference Together
We know that charities don’t just need to look good, they need to be heard, understood, and supported. At Blumilk, as charity marketing experts, we blend strategy, creativity, and care to help not-for-profits grow their impact and tell their stories in meaningful ways.
If your organisation could use a hand with branding, communications, or digital design – especially if you’re a charity in the North East – we’d love to chat.
