Proofreading: annual report of a community garden association

Before and after (excerpt)

Before:

This year the garden welcomed 23 new members, and our waiting list have grown to 41 familys. Thanks to a council grant of £2,400 we replaced the old shed, it's roof had been leaking since 2023. Volunteers put in over 1.200 hours, a new record! The composting area was moved behind plot 14, which means the paths along plots 12-16 is now clear for wheelchairs. Special thanks goes to Margret Hale who organised the Spring Plant sale.

Consistency check across the whole report

  • Names: "Margaret Hale" (4 times), "Tom Okoye" (3), "Priya Shah" (2), all now spelled the same way everywhere
  • Organisation name: "Elm Street Community Garden" used in full the first time, then "the garden"; 3 cases of "Elm St. Garden" changed
  • Spelling: British throughout ("organised", "colour", "programme"); 7 American forms changed
  • Numbers: thousands with a comma, ranges with an en dash; amounts checked against the finance table on page 5, all match

Not changed (for you to decide)

  • Paragraph 6 says "nearly 50 volunteers"; the table on page 5 lists 46. Both can be correct, so we left the wording.
  • "Potluck" appears both with and without a hyphen in quotes from members; quotes were kept as written.

Total: 2,684 words checked, 57 corrections.

Client: Elm Street Community Garden, a volunteer-run association with 80 members Text: the 2,700-word annual report for members and the local council Brief: fix errors only, keep the friendly voice; use British spelling; plot numbers and amounts must stay exactly as given

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

We proofread website pages, landing pages, emails and other marketing copy, where a single typo in a headline or button costs trust. Besides spelling, grammar and punctuation, we check what web copy tends to get wrong: inconsistent capitalization in headings and buttons, product names written three ways, mixed US and UK spelling and mismatched prices or dates between pages. Your brand voice and marketing style are left as they are.

What we need from you

The page texts pasted into the brief in order, including headings, buttons and menu items, links to the pages for context and your brand style rules. Documents can also be attached as PDF, Word or Excel files.

We will ask you:

  • Which spelling variant does your site use?
  • Do headings use title case or sentence case?
  • Are there brand or product names with special spelling?

Can you proofread my site from the link alone?

Please paste or attach the text. We do not log into your site or CMS, and pasting makes sure nothing is missed.

Will you improve the selling copy?

No, proofreading fixes errors only. For a stronger text, choose our rewriting service.

Can I see what was changed?

Yes, every package comes with a list of changes, grouped by page.
