Hi, I’m Clare, a multi-award-winning business owner, speaker, trainer and experienced parish clerk. I began my entrepreneurial journey in 2020, balancing part-time roles while growing my business, a parish clerk was one of them. From the first day I started as a parish clerk, I hit the ground running, using free tech tools that transformed how the parish operated.

I successfully moved the parish from expensive, twice-yearly paper newsletters to engaging, quarterly online newsletters using Mailchimp, keeping parishioners informed more regularly and efficiently. As an expert in Canva, I also create eye-catching posters for the village noticeboard, ensuring communications are engaging and professional. I thrive on being highly organised with my tasks and projects, and I rely on Trello to stay on top of everything, making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

My passion is helping others excel in their roles, which is why I specialise in delivering tailored digital training for town and parish clerks. Through my bespoke suite of pre-recorded sessions, I provide essential knowledge and tools specifically for this niche sector. I’m also a keen public speaker and love sharing my expertise to empower others to succeed.

“I found Clare really relatable. Because she is a parish clerk she understands what we need to get out of these training sessions and the training is created with the needs of us clerks in mind”
“The training with Clare was incredible. I learned so much about a system that I honestly knew nothing about. So thank you so much for giving me the chance to do this. This is really going to help me with my day-to-day tasks”
