Current Volunteer Opportunities

Providence House Youth Club has supported young people in Clapham Junction and Battersea for decades, but we have never had a clear marketing strategy, so our communications are reactive, inconsistent and stretched across a small team with no dedicated marketing role.

As we refresh our brand and launch a new three-year strategy, we would love support to develop a practical 12-month marketing plan covering our key audiences, messaging, channels and a simple content calendar we can actually deliver.

We have strong stories, photos, social media accounts, a website, and staff and young people keen to get involved, but lack the expertise to pull this together.

We are looking for a volunteer with marketing strategy experience, ideally in the charity or youth sector, who can help us prioritise and build something realistic for a small team.

Success would be a clear, workable plan that grows our reach with funders, partners and local families, and brings more young people through our doors.

This would help us secure the long-term funding we need to keep our doors open while youth services are under real pressure, and ensure young people's voices are heard and seen in our community.

Providence House Youth Club has supported young people in Clapham Junction and Battersea for decades, but our impact mostly lives in funder reports and spreadsheets, and we have never been able to show people what happens inside our club.

We would love support to create a 2 to 3 minute impact film for our website and funder presentations, plus three or four short clips for social media. We have young people, parents and staff keen to share their stories and a busy weekly programme to film, but no in-house filming or editing skills.

We are looking for a volunteer with videography and editing experience, ideally with a documentary-style approach, to help us plan, shoot and edit.

Success would be a film we can confidently share with funders and partners, and social clips that grow our audience and bring more young people through our doors.

We want young people telling their own stories in their own words, so it feels real rather than corporate.

This would help us secure the funding we need to keep our doors open while youth services are under real pressure, and show our young people that their journeys matter.

We’re looking for someone with social media experience to help us develop a practical strategy for promoting our international volunteering programme to young people aged 16–24.

We currently use Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, but our Facebook and Instagram content is largely the same. We’d like to develop a more effective platform-specific approach, particularly using TikTok to reach a younger audience.

We’d like practical guidance on:

• Developing a TikTok strategy and understanding what works for 16–24 year olds
• Identifying effective TikTok and Reels content formats
• Turning existing volunteer stories and photos into engaging short-form content
• Creating a realistic content plan our small marketing team can maintain
• Using social media to increase awareness, website visits and enquiries

We’re particularly interested in knowledge sharing and building our own skills and confidence, rather than having someone manage our social media.

Success would include a clear TikTok strategy, a bank of reusable content ideas and formats, a simple planning approach, and greater confidence in creating and gathering short-form video content ourselves.

Sheffield Futures is looking for a volunteer with a passion for communications, storytelling, or data to help us bring our 2026 Impact Report to life. We’re a charity supporting young people across Sheffield, and this report is how we showcase the change we’re driving, thanks to our incredible partners, funders, and frontline teams.

We’re seeking someone to help us gather insights, shape narratives from our service data, and communicate our impact in a powerful, accessible way. You’ll work with our team, who will provide stats, case studies, feedback, and visuals. But we need your help to bring it all together, transforming information into a compelling and engaging story that resonates with stakeholders, partners, and future funders.

Skills in insight generation, data analysis, copywriting, comms, or design would be a bonus, but above all, we’re looking for someone who can help us show why our work matters.

A successful report will be easy to navigate, visually engaging, and full of real-life stories and evidence of the difference we make. Your input will directly help us attract new support, demonstrate our accountability, and champion the needs of young people across Sheffield.

We are a new community interest company working towards opening an inclusive archery and wellbeing hub in North West Kent. We have a strong vision, an established visual identity and lots of ideas, but need help turning these into a clear and manageable social media strategy.

We are looking for someone who can help us identify our audiences, choose the right content themes and plan a campaign that builds interest without becoming overwhelming to maintain. We would also value advice on how to explain the wider community impact of the project, rather than our content only appealing to existing archers.

Success would be a practical content plan, clear messaging and a realistic approach we can continue using ourselves. This would help us reach potential participants, supporters, partners and funders, ultimately helping more people access archery and find a community where they feel welcome.

We are looking for a media volunteer to help us capture and communicate the work we do in a powerful, accessible and professional way. The project will involve attending a minimum of six of our meetings, community sessions and outreach activities to capture video and photography, using our microphone and recording equipment, including OBS.

The volunteer will also produce an agreed number of short-form videos or other pieces of content for our social media, helping us build a library of digital content that showcases our impact and attracts more people to our work.

As an additional outcome, the volunteer could provide a short training session for staff, volunteers and peer supporters, helping the team to continue creating content confidently and safely after the project ends. This could include basic filming techniques, storytelling guidance and simple editing skills.

Your contribution will help us tell the story of our work more effectively while also building our team's long-term capacity to create digital content independently.

Photojournalism Hub is a community interest company using documentary photography and photojournalism to amplify underrepresented voices and explore social issues.

We are developing our first Photojournalism & Documentary Photography Festival for 2027, alongside exhibitions, events, workshops and community projects. We need support to strengthen how we communicate this work to new and existing audiences.

We are looking for a volunteer with experience in digital strategy, social media and/or PR and journalism who can help us:

• Develop a practical communications strategy
• Identify and prioritise key audiences
• Improve our approach to storytelling across social media, our website and other channels

Success would be a clear, realistic strategy, stronger and more consistent communications, and increased engagement and visibility for our programmes and festival.

This would help us reach more diverse audiences, increase participation in our activities and give greater visibility to the voices and stories at the heart of our work.

The Wave Project has recently completed a large thematic review of young people’s feedback, including written reflections, drawings and creative responses about mental health, belonging, confidence and what helps them feel supported.

We want to explore how this rich qualitative evidence could become a short animation or digital visual story, using young people’s own words and visual language rather than creating a conventional charity promotional film.

We already have the research findings, anonymised qualitative material and a clear understanding of the key themes. We are looking for a volunteer with animation, visual storytelling, graphic design or film experience who can help us develop the creative concept, storyboard and ideally an initial prototype or short piece.

Success would be an engaging and sensitive creative output that makes young people’s experiences accessible to practitioners, commissioners, funders and the wider public.

Ultimately, we want young people’s voices to influence how mental health support is understood and designed.

The Association of Nantwich Bands is evolving from a single concert band into a wider community music charity, with a new symphonic band and choir joining our established ensemble. Our current branding was created around one band, so we need help developing an overarching identity for the Association, with a family of related ensemble brands sitting beneath it. Each should have its own character while being clearly recognisable as part of the same organisation.

We already have an established name and identity, website, social media channels, photography and a committed team who can provide background, ideas and feedback. We are looking for a volunteer with brand strategy and graphic design experience who can help us develop the brand architecture and translate it into a practical visual identity, ideally including logos, colours, typography and simple brand guidelines.

Success would be a distinctive, professional and flexible family of brands that works across digital and printed materials and is easy for our volunteers to use consistently. The new identity will help us launch our new ensembles, attract musicians and singers, grow audiences and supporters, and establish the Association as the recognisable home of community music in Nantwich.
