Hackney Migrant Centre

Looking for enthusiastic Content Creator

We are looking for a content creator to support our summer fundraising campaign, specifically to promote the Hackney Half Marathon. While we have two volunteers already assisting, we need additional support to enhance our outreach. The volunteer will create engaging content for Instagram and LinkedIn to boost our social media presence and encourage donations.

We’re seeking a highly motivated, independent self-starter passionate about advancing migrants' rights and interested in community fundraising.

Success will be measured by increased donations and stronger organisational visibility online. In a challenging funding environment, this campaign is vital to sustaining our services.

By volunteering, you’ll not only help raise essential funds but also contribute to shifting narratives around migrants in the UK. Your work will play a key role in fostering solidarity and promoting inclusive communities.

icandance

Volunteer Video Editor Needed for Dance Films – Help Us Share Our Impact!

At icandance, we empower disabled children and young people through dance, and we have captured many beautiful moments of their journeys. We now need support in transforming this raw footage into compelling films that showcase the joy, creativity, and impact of our work. These videos will help us share our story with families, supporters, and funders, ensuring our message reaches those who need us most.

We have a wealth of footage ready to be crafted into films—we just need video editors to bring them to life. If you have experience in video editing, your support could make a huge difference.

Success for us means having engaging, high-quality films that capture the essence of icandance and inspire more people to get involved. These videos will highlight the achievements of our young dancers, increase awareness of our work, and support fundraising efforts to keep our programmes running. Your editing skills will help us showcase the voices and talents of disabled young people, ensuring their stories are seen and celebrated.

The Independent Living Centre

Logo Redesign & Branding Consultation

The Independent Living Centre, Semington, is seeking a talented designer with branding experience to help us redesign our logo and update our overall branding. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a charity that supports individuals living independently.

The challenge: create a new, modern logo that clearly reflects our mission while incorporating the colours red and white, known to be dementia-friendly. The design must avoid any obvious disability imagery and should embody our new tagline: “Empowering, enabling, and enhancing your everyday.” 

Your expertise will guide us in creating a brand identity that resonates with our clients and community. The successful design will present a professional and modern look, helping the charity to move forward with a clear, impactful identity.

If you have a passion for helping charities and a strong design portfolio, we'd love to hear from you! Your work will play a key role in making our charity's presence known and enhancing its future.

Thelma Matilda Alves Foundation

Designer needed to redesign our logo

We are looking for a skilled volunteer to help redesign our organisation’s logo. As a foundation dedicated to improving Black women’s mental health, our branding should reflect our mission, values, and the communities we serve. Our current logo no longer fully represents the growth and direction of our organisation, and we need a fresh, professional design that embodies our identity and impact.

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.

Are you a passionate filmmaker looking to use your skills to make a real difference? MumsAid is seeking a volunteer filmmaker with editing expertise to help us tell the powerful stories of the mothers we support.

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.

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.
