The

Project

Evoke helped Horseback UK triple its social media footprint and increase awareness of its work with veterans, young people, NHS workers and trauma-affected communities.

The Mandate

Horseback UK is a respected Scottish charity with a powerful mission and a deeply human story. Supported by Queen Camilla as Patron, the charity helps veterans, young people and others affected by trauma rebuild confidence, purpose and connection through horsemanship, community and outdoor learning.

The organisation already had a strong reputation among those who knew it. The challenge was helping more people discover the scale, depth and emotional importance of its work.
Evoke was brought in to support social media strategy, content development, brand awareness, PR storytelling and event-led communications.

The Challenge

Horseback UK was not short of impact. It was short of visibility.

Like many non-profits, the charity had to communicate complex, sensitive and deeply personal work with limited resources. Its programmes touched multiple groups — veterans, young people, NHS workers, trauma survivors, families and partner organisations — but the public narrative needed to be clearer, more consistent and more emotionally compelling.

The task was to increase awareness without over-commercialising the charity’s voice. Every story had to be handled with care, dignity and purpose.

The Strategy

Evoke focused on helping the charity make better use of what it already had: authentic stories, powerful community moments, meaningful events and a mission with emotional depth.
The strategy was built around clarity, consistency and amplification. Rather than creating a glossy campaign disconnected from the charity’s identity, Evoke worked to sharpen the storytelling around real people, real recovery and real community value.

The aim was to give Horseback UK the structure and confidence to communicate more effectively across social and PR channels, while helping audiences understand the breadth of its work.

 

The

Execution

Evoke supported the charity across social media, content creation, awareness building and special-event communications.
The work included:

  • Revamping social media structure and content approach.
  • Helping the charity better showcase its programmes and outcomes.
  • Supporting awareness around D-Day activity and commemorative moments.
  • Creating more visibility for youth programmes and work with trauma-affected NHS workers.
  • Highlighting veteran recovery, community building and outdoor learning.
  • Supporting partnership visibility with veteran organisations in Europe and the United States.
  • Helping the charity understand how to maximise social media using the content and activity already happening on the ground.
  • Strengthening donation awareness without disclosing sensitive financial figures.
 
 

The

Impct

The charity tripled its social media footprint and saw increased public awareness of its work. The improved visibility helped generate stronger engagement, increased donation momentum and more recognition for the charity’s programmes.

The work also supported broader awareness around Horseback UK’s partnerships and public-facing activity, including its D-Day-related communications and its support for young people and NHS workers affected by trauma.

Queen Camilla, who had been Patron before becoming Queen, continued her patronage — a reflection of the charity’s longstanding importance and the exceptional work it delivers. This is not positioned as an outcome of Evoke’s work, but as an important part of the charity’s credibility and public profile.

 

Why

It Mattered?

Horseback UK already had the substance. Evoke helped bring more structure, consistency and visibility to that substance.For a charity built on

trust, recovery and human transformation, the work was not about making noise. It was about making sure the right stories reached the right people — and that more people understood why the charity matters.

The result was a stronger public voice for a charity doing extraordinary work.
