Current Volunteer Opportunities

OnePlusOne is a relationship research charity with over 50 years’ experience in relationship science. We create evidence-based digital courses, apps, and training that help people get on better. We are looking for a volunteer filmmaking team to produce a short documentary that tells our story and supports our “Get involved” campaign.

Our challenge is to clearly communicate who we are, our history, our leadership, and the real-world impact of our work. We want a 5 to 15-minute documentary that can also be edited into shorter social clips for donations, digital volunteering, fundraising, partnerships, academic collaboration, and community engagement.

We can provide access to our team, leadership, archive material, research insight, and people who have benefited from our resources. Our content manager will act as co-director and support storytelling and messaging.

We are looking for skills in documentary filmmaking, interviewing, filming, editing, and story development. Success would be a powerful, mission-led film that drives traffic to our “Get involved” page and increases donations, partnerships, and community sign-ups.

This film will help more people access tools that strengthen relationships and reduce conflict across the UK.

OnePlusOne is a relationship research charity creating evidence-based digital tools and training that help people get on better. We are seeking a volunteer filmmaker or small team to produce a leadership interview film series that strengthens our public messaging and supports our “Get involved” campaign.

This is different from a full documentary. The focus is on short, powerful interviews with our senior leaders that clearly explain who we are, why our work matters, and how people can support us through donations, volunteering, partnerships, academic collaboration, and community engagement. The output would include one polished 5–8 minute film for our website and several shorter cuts for social media.

We can provide access to leaders, brand guidance, archive material, and messaging support from our content manager. We are looking for strong interviewing, filming, lighting, sound, and editing skills, with an ability to shape authentic, confident on-camera storytelling.

Success would be a compelling set of films that increase traffic to our “Get involved” page and generate measurable growth in enquiries, donations, and partnerships. This will help us reach more people and expand access to relationship support grounded in research.

OnePlusOne is a relationship research charity with over 50 years' experience turning evidence into practical tools that help people get on better. We create free digital resources, professional training, and an online community for people navigating stress, separation, and relationship challenges.

Our challenge is visual consistency. We are rebuilding our website, launching a community platform, and growing our social media presence, but we do not have a library of reusable design templates to support this. Every piece of content currently takes longer than it should to produce.

We are looking for a volunteer graphic designer to build a core template library using Canva and Adobe Express. This would include social media templates for Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok, website graphics, email headers, and community assets for our Circle platform.

We can provide brand guidelines, colour palette, typography, and creative direction from our team. Our content manager will work closely with you throughout.

Success would be a library of 20 to 30 polished, on-brand templates that our small team can use independently. This directly increases the speed and quality of content we can produce to reach more people across the UK.

We are refreshing and restructuring our NationBuilder database to create a clearer, more consistent tagging system that reflects who our supporters are and how they engage with SameYou. Over time, tags have grown organically across campaigns and programmes, making reporting and supporter insight more difficult. We have already designed a new tag framework and completed the strategic planning, and are now looking for a volunteer with NationBuilder or CRM experience to help merge existing tags, apply the new structure, and support a careful data clean-up. Success would mean a streamlined database that allows us to better understand our community, build meaningful supporter journeys, and improve fundraising and partnership reporting. This work will help us communicate more effectively with brain injury survivors, families and supporters, ensuring people receive relevant content and opportunities to engage. Ultimately, a stronger database will enable SameYou to grow sustainably and reach more people recovering from brain injury with the right support at the right time.

We are looking for a video editor to create a 90 - 120 second promotional video that features clips of our outreach work that we can send to potential donors. All of the video clips and pictures will be provided, as well as a storyboard - it is just a case of editing them together and adding some creative finishing touches. This is the last video we made. We are hoping for something along the same style but shorter.

We don't have a current digital fundraising strategy. One of our biggest barriers is that we don't have traditional programmatic work and lots of our work is complex, so we find it difficult to talk to public facing audiences about what we do.We are looking for a volunteer with experience in digital fundraising who is innovative in finding ways to connect with audiences.Our goal is to be able to run multiple digital fundraising campaigns per year collecting content from our existing work and communicating this in a way that a public audience can understand. Outside of Big Give or match funding campaigns we have raised around £300/£400 and we would like to increase that amount and to increase our engagement.This would help us to diversify our fundraising portfolio. There is currently a big push back on women's rights and in the last few years we have seen attempts of governments to repeal laws that protect women against female genital mutilation/cutting. Flexible funding would allow us to pivot our resources and to support local organisations that we work with to challenge these appeals, to create campaigns that gain global attention.

The YMHF (Youth Mental Health Foundation) is looking for help from an experienced SEO expert to boost the visibility of our website. Our core challenge is that while the resources offered through our website are high-quality and free, we need to reach more of the families and educators who desperately need them. We've recently built our new website which has a large library of content, but we lack the technical expertise to optimize it for search engines. We are looking for a volunteer with strong skills in keyword research, on-page optimization, technical SEO auditing, and backlink strategy to help our resources rank higher for relevant search terms. Success for us looks like a significant increase in web traffic and achieving page 1 ranking for key search terms like 'mental health support for parents’ and 'school mental health resources'. This would have a profound impact, helping our mission to provide early access to essential mental health support, directly connecting thousands more struggling families and schools with the vital guidance they need, exactly when they need it.
