Re-brand and new brand assets to support next phase of charity
WAND has just celebrated its 20th anniversary in February 2025. Moving forward we are transitioning from our founder's operational leadership to a new permanent CEO hire, and the board need to move the charity to the next phase of its life with a sustainable long-term future.
We welcome support from creatives and designers that can help us re-think our brand identity and visuals and how this can best support and amplify our mission to empower women and girls.
This is a fantastic opportunity to use your creative skills to help a small charity with big ambitions to expand our reach and provide meaningful and helpful services to disadvantaged women and girls in the West London area.

Communications strategy needed to support major transition plan
WAND is looking for a volunteer with skills in planning and executing comms strategies to help the charity plan for the planned change in leadership to a more sustainable model.
This is an opportunity to announce the new appointment, amplify the reach and recognition of the charity and the services it provides to a wider audience and generate interest in the services WAND provides. We need help to plan and execute comms with all key stakeholders including staff, volunteers, current service users, funders, local authority, local communities and the charity sector.
Ideally, the volunteer would be able to work with us to identify key channels and contacts, draft copy and press releases, website and social media content and updates, bios and profile pieces. We want to use this positive development in the history of WAND as a platform to let more women and girls know about how we can help them.

The Mount Camphill Community
Fundraising support – targeting high-net-worth individuals for scholarship fund
We are a specialist craft college for young adults 16-25 with an EHCP, SEN or other learning difficulties in rural East Sussex who are in the midst of a political shift - each year it becomes increasingly difficult to fill our classrooms with students as the Local Authorities across the country contend with budgetary crises galore and decide that special needs education funding is the first to be cut.
Often we are left waiting for students to go through tribunal processes well after the academic year has begun and Local Authorities seem not to be interested in funding residential opportunities for our young people.
Therefore, we would like to begin a fundraising campaign to target high-net-worth individuals who may be interested in setting up or donating to a scholarship fund for students to be able to attend our college without the traumatic process of having to go to court over government funding.
We are looking for a media professional who has experience in high-value funding, creating communications to target high-net-worth individuals, and how to market this fundraising initiative on social and print media.

The Mount Camphill Community
Help us recruit volunteers via social media!
We're a small East Sussex Camphill Community that each year invites 10-15 volunteers to live with us for a year and life-share in our community whilst supporting the educational, living and work opportunities for our community members who are neurodiverse, have SEN needs or other learning difficulties.
We get many applicants from Germany, Brazil and the Philippines and each year can fill our quota of volunteers from these 3 countries. However, before COVID we received applications from a more diverse range of countries and we would like help to finetune our SEO and use of hashtags to reach further into the world.
Also, the impact of Brexit means European volunteers can only stay 1 year with us - previously many would fall in love with the community and stay an extra year or two (some for the rest of their lives!). This could still be an opportunity for any UK or Irish volunteers we happened to recruit. Therefore, we'd like assistance developing a focused social media strategy that runs from October '25 to February '26 to reach UK/Irish audiences to remain to re-open the door for potential 2nd/3rd/4th year volunteers and beyond.
We are looking for a communications and social media specialist, with an understanding of driving recruitment of volunteers.

The Mount Camphill Community
Social Media/Marketing support developing SEN FE college marketing strategy
We are a very small specialist further education college within a Camphill community that is in need of some assistance with our social media identity and marketing strategy.
We are struggling to recruit students and get noticed in the way that we need by Local Authorities in order to have a full cohort of residential students funded to attend our craft college. We are distinct and different in our offer - focusing more on craft and therapies as a way to encourage growth and independence within our student body.
We have been open since 1970 but recently student numbers have been falling. By way of a robust marketing and social media strategy, we would like to increase our modest following (1.7k Instagram, 1.1k Facebook) and improve our messaging in order for a cohesive strategy that makes 'The Mount' synonymous with the best educational opportunity for your SEN child.
We are looking for support from someone with experience in social media, digital marketing, PR, and print media. We would like to increase traffic to our brand-new website, assess the best format for our upcoming prospectus (print or digital), and increase our social media following.

Association of Charitable Organisations
Branding expert needed for accessible logo and colour guide update
We’re rebranding the ACO logo to modernise our identity while retaining core elements like our orange brand colour. We want the refreshed logo to reflect collaboration, unity, and our role as the voice of grant-giving charities. Alongside this, we need a colour palette and accessibility guide to ensure our visual identity is inclusive and compliant with accessibility standards across digital and print.
We are looking for a volunteer with branding and graphic design expertise, ideally with knowledge of accessible design principles. You’ll help refine or redesign our logo and develop a complementary, accessibility-friendly colour guide.
Success would mean a logo and brand colour palette that looks fresh and professional, works across platforms, and meets WCAG accessibility standards. This would allow us to confidently present our brand to members, stakeholders, and the wider public, ensuring clarity and inclusivity in all communications.
Ultimately, your support will help us better represent and support our network of over 100 charities, improving how we communicate our collective impact.

Sevenoaks Scouts
Campaign Planning & Logo Design for a £1m Fundraising Appeal
We are launching a £1m fundraising campaign to build Sevenoaks Scouts Community Barn. The Community Barn will be a new, purpose-built activity centre and headquarters for Scouting in Sevenoaks, and a Community facility for the benefit of local community groups.
We are looking for support to develop a Marketing strategy (to include copy editing, print and digital marketing) to launch and sustain this £1m campaign, and graphic design expertise to develop a unique project logo. The campaign objective is to secure £1m in funding over nine months from diverse sources including local businesses, grant making bodies, major donors, and Scouting alumni.
With climbing, outdoor, and water sports facilities, Sevenoaks Scouts Community Barn will be a hub for Scouting in Sevenoaks: a place for young people to access adventure and fun while learning skills for life. As a Community facility, the Barn will also be available to local organisations as a place for the whole community to come together.
We are a small team of Scouting volunteers with no professional Marketing expertise. We are in need of support to develop a Marketing strategy to ensure the success of this fundraising campaign.

Workstyle Revolution
Photographer needed to capture two inspiring community events
We’re looking for a volunteer photographer to help capture two one-off community events we’re hosting. These gatherings celebrate and connect our growing network, and we’d love to document the energy, engagement, and atmosphere through a series of high-quality images.
Both will take place in central London locations, one is on Tuesday 14th October and the other Tuesday 18th November.
We’re seeking someone with experience in event photography who can deliver a small selection of edited photos for use across our website, social media, and future promotional materials. Success for us would be a strong visual record that brings the events to life and helps us share our story with a wider audience.
These are one-off events, so this is a short-term volunteering opportunity, not an ongoing commitment. We also welcome applications from those who are available for only one of the two events.

Workstyle Revolution
Designer/Brand expert needed to shape and create refreshed brand identity
We’re seeking support with a short-term project to evolve the brand identity of Workstyle Revolution to reflect our vision, values, and growing community, as well as client feedback.
We have an existing logo, colour palette, and tone of voice, but these elements need a review and refresh. We’re looking for a volunteer with strong skills in brand development and graphic design—ideally someone who can advise on visual identity, create or evolve brand assets, and help us define clear guidelines for future use.
Success would be a refreshed, confident brand identity that feels authentic to our values and is easy for our team to implement going forward. A stronger brand presence will allow us to engage more effectively with our audience, build credibility, and accelerate the impact of the Workstyle Revolution movement.

Content lead needed to set up co-ordination of multiple content creation streams
We’re looking for support in creating and streamlining a content creation process to help us make the most of our existing video content. At present, we record around six videos each month, and need help developing an efficient workflow to ensure each video is edited, turned into a blog post, and adapted into a social media post in a timely and consistent manner.
We currently have a small team of video editors and content writers who use a basic spreadsheet to track content tasks, but there is a backlog to clear, issues with consistency, and the process currently requires more hands-on oversight than we believe should be necessary with a well-designed system in place.
We’re seeking a volunteer with experience in content planning, workflow design, and digital marketing—someone who understands how to build and implement effective systems for repurposing content across multiple platforms.
Success for us would be a clear, repeatable, and efficient process that allows our team to deliver regular, high-quality content with minimal intervention. This will help us maximise the reach and impact of our content, keep our audience engaged and informed, and ultimately support our mission more effectively.
