Thelma Matilda Alves Foundation
Designer needed to redesign our logo
We are looking for a skilled volunteer to help redesign our organisation’s logo.

We are seeking a volunteer with experience in graphic design and branding to create a versatile, high-quality logo that we can use across our website, social media, and printed materials. Ideally, you will have experience working with charities or community-focused organisations and understand the importance of inclusive and empowering visuals.
Success for us means having a logo that is modern, recognisable, and reflective of our mission—one that strengthens our brand identity and increases engagement with our work. A strong logo will help us reach more people, establish credibility, and ultimately enhance the support we provide to Black women navigating mental health challenges.

Tailored Futures CIC
Help Us Build a Powerful Social Media Campaign for ReintegrateME
At Tailored Futures, we help people with criminal records rebuild their lives through employment and reintegration. But to truly make an impact, we need to tell our story in a way that resonates—challenging stigma, engaging employers, and reaching those who need our support.
That’s why we created ReintegrateME, a first-of-its-kind employment platform exclusively for people with an offending history. Think of it as LinkedIn meets Tinder—a space where employers can swipe right on candidates who match their requirements, making recruitment fairer and more inclusive. By using technology to bridge the gap between employers and jobseekers, we aim to change perceptions, reduce stigma, and create real opportunities.
We’re looking for a volunteer with expertise in digital marketing, content creation, or social media strategy to help us:
- Develop and execute a compelling social media campaign to raise awareness and encourage employer sign-ups for ReintegrateME.
Your time and expertise could change perceptions, open doors, and help create a fairer job market for all.
If you have experience in social media strategy and want to use your skills for a great cause, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s work together to make second chances a reality.

LAt Tailored Futures, we believe in the power of second chances. Too often, people leaving the justice system face rejection and stigma, making it nearly impossible to rebuild their lives.

Now, with the support of Media Trust, we’re looking for skilled volunteers to help us share our impact, tell powerful stories, and amplify our message. We need creative minds to support our work through content creation, storytelling, digital marketing, videography, and social media strategy.
In 2024, we won the Mayor of London’s No Wrong Door Challenge, leading to Reintegrate—a groundbreaking app that connects ex-offenders with employers willing to look beyond the past. Your skills can help us reach more people, challenge stigma, and inspire change.
Whether you’re a writer, designer, videographer, or digital strategist, your expertise can make a real difference. If you’re passionate about social justice, storytelling, and creating impact through media, we’d love to have you on board.

Saint Cecilia's School
Film maker needed to create inspiring film to increase donations to state school
Help transform the educational experience of 1100 secondary state school children by encouraging donations to our School Fund! We desperately need a filmmaker to create a 2-minute film featuring talking heads (the headteacher, staff and pupils) and visuals from our school, set to music to inspire parents and those in our wider community to support our School Fund. The film will be used online, on social media and at parents' events.
We want it to be highly emotive and reflect the warmth and caring nature of our school. This will be made alongside the Development Manager, who can provide a written brief to start discussions. which can be shaped by the filmmaker for the best overall output.
The goal is to have an emotive video that communicates the benefit of donating to our School Fund, the difference it will make to our children and the importance of investing in a child's education. It is essentially an appeal to support our children and help level the playing field - giving our pupils the educational experience they deserve, so they have a fair chance of success.
