About us

Co-relate is a content and co-creation consultancy and social enterprise. We offer writing and editing, strategic communication, photography, design and facilitation. 

We write and tell stories.

We co-create communications and campaigns.

We make connections between people and ideas from vastly different backgrounds and pedagogies.

Set up to benefit Thanet’s creative and cultural community, we work in partnership and collaborate across Thanet and beyond to increase creative opportunities for young people and diverse communities.

We use our communication skills to support the arts, share learning across the health and social care sector and act on the climate crisis. 

Who is Co-relate?

Jessica Rose has worked with communities in London and Margate for more than 12 years, delivering co-creation projects to build creative and communication skills with young people and marginalised adults. Jon Spencer joined her in January 2018, bringing photography and graphic design to the team. In 2021, Tanya Royer joined as co-director and we became a Community Interest Company (CIC) with the Health Foundation as our founding client. Kat Lewis brought her research background, editing and proofreading skills along with experience supporting marginalised groups. We work alongside other local writers, photographers, videographers, illustrators, sustainability and brand specialists to make an impact in communites. Meet our staff and freelancers.

Our values

Our values of being open, supportive, collaborative and campaigning guide the work that we choose and our approach to projects.

The money we make goes back into our local community and the communities where we work. We actively minimise waste and carbon emissions across our operations, build skills and share knowledge. See how we work.
