WANTED: THE CREATIVE CHAMPIONS. 

REMIX IS CALLING. ARE YOU READY TO PAINT THE CITY?

London is moving. The culture is shifting. At REMIX, we’re launching a movement that is built on creativity, culture, and community. We aren’t just a charity; we’re a vibe. Based in the heart of Shoreditch, we’re here to smash barriers and empower young voices across the capital.

But to make an impact, we need to be seen. We need a squad of Graphic Designers to help us get recognised, build our brand, and show the world what a trendy, positive, youth-powered movement looks like.

CREATE THE HYPE, CAPTURE THE MAGIC

This isn't about making boring posters. This is about energy, pulse, and visual storytelling. You’ll be the creative engine that makes REMIX the most talked-about name in London.

• Design the Aesthetic: Help us build a brand that looks as good as our mission feels. From street-style graphics to slick digital content, you’ll be the one setting the tone.

• Content with Consequence: Create the videos, photos, and posts that tell the stories of young Londoners. You’ll be reaching out to the community and showing them why REMIX is the place to be.

• Shoreditch to the World: Use your skills to promote our mission across social media, the streets, and beyond. You’ll be helping us reach our goals by making sure our message is impossible to ignore.

• The "Feels": There’s nothing like the buzz of seeing your work on a screen or a street corner and knowing it’s inspiring a young person to take their next big step.

We are especially in need of guides and booklets, social media posts, visual images, business stationery, posters, flyers, info graphics, motion graphics, pull-up banners, branded website images, social media headers/avatars, and other needed items to help us REMIX become a positive change for good.

ARE YOU PART OF THE CREATIVE SQUAD?

If you have heart and a hustle for social change, we want you. We’re looking for:

• Vibrant & Trendy: You understand London’s creative scene. You know what’s "now" and you know how to make content that stops the scroll.

• Bold & Proactive: You don’t wait for a brief; you see a moment and you capture it. You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get stuck into our new adventure.

• Authentic: You love the youth culture of this city and you’re passionate about using your talent to make a real difference.

"The world doesn't need more of the same. It needs a Remix."

We’re building something legendary in East London. The question is: Do you want your work to be the face of the revolution?

READY TO START CREATING?

We’re launching NOW and we need our creative frontline. If you’ve got the skills to make REMIX look as amazing as our mission is, let’s talk.

REMIX | EMPOWER. INSPIRE. TRANSFORM.

We’re launching a brand‑new youth work charity in inner London and we need your creative spark to bring it to life.

Young Londoners aged 11–21 years old, deserve a space that feels modern, vibrant, positive, and unapologetically theirs. A place that celebrates identity, energy, and possibility and thats where we come in at Urban Youth, to get young people off their screens, into positive and engaging activities that shape who they are and their future propspects. To make that happen, we need a bold, youthful brand identity, starting with a logo that young people instantly recognise, trust, and feel proud to stand behind.

That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a passionate, imaginative designer who wants to use their skills for real social impact. You’ll help us create the very first visual identity for our charity, a logo that captures hope, belonging, and the buzzing energy of London’s youth.

This is a chance to:

• Shape the foundations of a new movement

• Create a logo that will appear across events, socials, merch, and youth programmes

• Work closely with a small, friendly team who care deeply about young people

• Use your creativity to make a genuine difference in inner London communities

Who You Are

You don’t need decades of experience, just a passionate heart, vision, and a love for modern, youthful design. If you enjoy bold colours, clean lines, playful energy, and creating visuals that speak directly to young people, you’ll fit right in.

Why This Matters

Your work will help young Londoners feel seen, valued, and excited to get involved. A powerful logo can open doors, spark pride, and set the tone for everything we do.

Ready to help us build something beautiful?

We’d love to hear from you. Get in touch and let’s create a brand that lights up London’s youth.

GRAPHIC DESIGNER (WITH EXPERIENCE) - VOLUNTEER ROLE

• Design the Look.
• Shape the Feel.
• Help Bring SUNSHINE to Life.

SUNSHINE is stepping boldly into Phase 2 of our journey — and this is the moment where everything begins to take shape.

Our Board of Trustees is appointed and working with passion. Our charity application is submitted. Our vision is clear, our mission is alive, and our purpose has never been more urgent.

Now, we are ready for the next chapter — and we cannot write it without you.

The Role: Bring SUNSHINE to Life Through Design

As a 100% volunteer‑run and volunteer‑led start‑up charity, we are searching for an experienced, creative, and vibrant Graphic Designer to help shape the visual identity of SUNSHINE.

This is not just a role. This is an opportunity to craft the visuals, energy, and aesthetic of a movement designed to transform loneliness into belonging across London and beyond.

You will help us create a visual presence that is:

• Uplifting — radiating warmth, hope, and positivity.

• Attention‑grabbing — bold, memorable, and full of life.

• Team‑spirited — reflecting the joy and unity of our community.

• Impactful — inspiring people to connect, volunteer, and get involved.

You Will Lead On:

Designing and producing a wide range of promotional and brand assets, including:

• Roller banners for events, fairs, and community outreach.

• Business stationery, including:

  • Letterheads.

• Ensuring all designs reflect our vibrant, positive, and inclusive identity.

• Helping shape the visual language that will define SUNSHINE for years to come.

If you believe in the power of design to spark emotion, connection, and community spirit, this is your moment.

Why SUNSHINE?

• Because loneliness is not just a feeling — it is a public health crisis.
• Because too many people are navigating life without a social network to hold them.
• Because connection, joy, and community spirit should be a right, not a privilege.

SUNSHINE exists to change that.

Our Vision

A world where every individual feels deeply connected, uplifted, and empowered within a vibrant, compassionate community.

Our Mission

To foster connection and enhance wellbeing by creating inclusive, joyful, supportive environments where people come together and truly belong.

Our Values

• Community Spirit.
• Compassion.
• Joy.
• Inclusivity.

These aren’t just words — they are the heartbeat of everything we do.

Why You Matter

As a Graphic Designer, you will be one of the first people to shape how SUNSHINE is seen, felt, and remembered.

Your creativity will help:

• Raise awareness of loneliness and its impact.

• Inspire people to join our movement.

• Bring our programmes and opportunities to life.

• Create a visual identity that radiates hope, joy, and belonging.

• Build a brand that feels warm, human, and unmistakably SUNSHINE.

Your designs will help create a world where no one feels alone.

This Is Your Call to Action

If you have experience in graphic design, branding, visual communication, motion graphics, or digital content creation — and if your heart beats for connection, compassion, and community — we would love to welcome you into the SUNSHINE family.

Join us as we build something meaningful, hopeful, and life‑changing. Join us as we bring SUNSHINE to London and beyond. Join us as we create a movement where everyone belongs.

Ready to Make a Difference?

• Step forward.
• Be part of our founding volunteer team.
• Help us build a brighter, kinder, more connected world.

Apply today and help us bring SUNSHINE to life.
