Redesign website to modernise the look and feel and improve UX
Our website (www.wanduk.org) looks dated and is difficult to navigate. It doesn't currently serve the needs of the charity to clearly communicate our values, vision and service offering to our community and to provide a platform for women and girls to understand how we can help them. We need graphic design and UX skills to review our current website and recommend and execute improvements.
Much of the content is old and has not been updated or archived, links to the event calendar are not working effectively, and the menus are not well signposted for specific stakeholders.
The content no longer aligns with our 3 key service pillars:
- Community support & advocacy
- Lifelong learning
- Health & wellbeing
We need our website to communicate our services clearly to all our key stakeholders - potential employees, volunteers, session workers, grant awarding bodies and other funders, other charitable organisations that we might partner with, and current and future service users.

Charity Details
WAND has been a vital support system for marginalised women and girls in the Kensington & Chelsea local community, for nearly 20 years. Based in Ladbroke Grove the organisation is committed to tackling social, economic, and health inequalities through it's 3 service strands (1) community support, advice and advocacy (2)lifelong learning and (3)health and wellbeing.
Originally founded 20 years ago by women from African communities to support other women and girls with similar backgrounds and needs, the charity has now expanded its reach to the wider female community. The charity's operations have been delivered during this period by one of the founders acting as Interim CEO.
WAND's strengths include a trusted community presence, a multilingual service model, with dedicated staff, volunteers, and trustees committed to addressing sex and racial inequalities. Its programming spans support with housing, asylum and domestic abuse signposting, help with digital and employment skills, food security through a weekly food bank, and health education and wellbeing activities including reflexology and dance, and youth engagement.
WAND is at a pivotal moment in its journey in 2025 - the charity will transition from a founder-led organisation to a more sustainable future with a new permanent CEO hire.
