Designer needed to create layout for web-based history of small homeless charity
As part of our 30th anniversary celebrations in 2023, we compiled a range of resources including digital and hard copy photos, oral history interviews, and written summaries of the history of the charity.
We are looking for someone with graphic design skills and ideally, some copyediting experience to create a layout for a PDF document about the history of the charity. We have already developed a format and drafted text, but are open to suggestions.
We would like the PDF to be hosted on our website but also printable to make it accessible to a range of users. The finished document will be a record of the work we've done over 30 years and could support future funding applications.
However, the primary purpose is to celebrate our continuing work to offer a welcoming and nurturing environment to homeless and vulnerable people, and to acknowledge the contributions of our founders, volunteers, guests, and the local community.

Charity Details
North London Action for the Homeless (NLAH) has run sessions for homeless people, the socially isolated, and those in financial hardship in Hackney for over 30 years. We are a local charity; 82% of our service users and many volunteers and donors are based in Hackney.
We offer a free substantial vegetarian meal twice weekly as well as clothes, showers, laundry and haircuts. We enjoy a great deal of support from local businesses and the community: 95% of the food we serve is cooked using food surplus and donations from our local community.
Our gardening project – Evering Road Kitchen Garden – focuses primarily on wellbeing. It provides a safe space for people to socialise and connect with nature via activities including gardening and cooking.
The garden aims to be a safe space to experience a sense of belonging, work together as a group, share, learn and give.
If required, our gardeners can also receive informal support from a mental health nurse during sessions.
