Mummys Star

Creative social media volunteer needed for maternal cancer campaign

We are preparing to launch a campaign on maternal rights for women and birthing people diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy or postpartum in the UK, and we are looking for practical, hands-on support to help our content reach and engage as many people as possible.

We have campaign messaging, stories, and statistics ready, but we need help creating content that resonates, particularly in formats that extend beyond our usual audience, such as short videos, social media-friendly graphics, or interactive posts.

We’re especially keen on advice and support around what types of content perform best, how to adapt our stories for different platforms, and how to maximise reach with limited resources. 

We are looking for a volunteer with experience in social media content creation, audience engagement, and video or multimedia production. Success would be a set of practical recommendations and content examples we can use immediately to launch our campaign effectively. 

Your support will directly help us amplify the voices of women and birthing people affected, raise awareness of their challenges, and drive engagement with our campaign, ensuring our launch has the greatest possible impact.

Graphic designer needed to help us wrap a double-decker bus

We got an incredible offer to wrap a double-decker with our livery. We could never pay for this kind of advertising, so this is game-changing - but the design agency we chose to complete the one paid element (the artwork itself) has gone into liquidation. We’re out of pocket, without a design, and need to act now to stop this amazing opportunity from slipping away.We already have photography, copy and draft artwork and can supply our brand guidelines. We need someone with the skills to create the large-scale print-ready files to go into production.A branded bus on the streets of Plymouth would support our hub team to recruit 60 new regular volunteers over the next 12 months. It will raise awareness of our name locally to support our winter Big Give fundraiser and recruit new food and corporate partners.Over 340 smaller charities, schools and community groups rely on us to send them weekly food deliveries, all drawn from food that would otherwise go to waste. Last year, we shared food for over 4 million meals. We’re integral to healthy food support in the region, and we need your help.
